Respectable fourth in 1m AW contest at Lingfield two weeks ago and remains on a workable mark; again has frame possibilities but his chance of winning is weaker, with strike-rate still modest (2-27).

Verdict

Having posted an improved effort at Nottingham on his debut for Dylan Cunha, EDVARD GRIEG (nap) could well take another step forward and get off the mark. Double Red, who may show the benefit of this drop in class with headgear fitted, is second choice ahead of Finn Russell who won his most recent Flat start. Darysina Gold has possibilities granted fast ground, while Lzaz could be involved now handicapping.[Steve Boow]
