13/8

Comment: Favourite when tenth of 12 in a claimer on first outing for new trainer 15 days ago; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 12-54 and smart performer in his prime; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; a major contender as lower claiming tag should make this easier.

Comment: Ridden positively to get across to lead from stall eight when a disappointing eighth in a claimer last month upped to 1m½f; can boast winning form over this C&D; is passed over in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Comment: Couldn't land a blow when seventh of nine (Parx) last month in a claimer; this is his level and smart performer at one stage; should go well as sights are lowered a bit reflected by lower claiming tag.
