5/2
Course winner. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good, 7/4) 17 days ago. Still not fully exposed and goes well here, so solid claims.

4/1
Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (8f, 4/1) 31 days ago. Boasts a progressive profile and did well to get up last time, so worth a chance to go in again.

12/1
Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 27 days ago, all out. Slight rise for that might be enough to stop him in a deeper race.

7/1
First run since leaving Alice Haynes and 12/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, plenty in hand. Carries penalty and seems sure to go well again.

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 4 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to firm, 6/4) 26 days ago. Hard to make a solid case for.

Forecasts

Crimson Spirit (5/2), Tribal Chief (4/1), Speeding Bullet (4/1), Sunny Corner (11/2), Between Me And U (7/1), Hello Cotai (12/1), Graecia (25/1), Autumn Dream (28/1), Alika Breeze (40/1)

Verdict

TRIBAL CHIEF did well to get up with a sustained run at Kempton last time and he's yet to finish improving, so he gets the nod over Crimson Spirit, who has shown a liking for this track. Between Me And U is another one to be interested in having made a successful debut for his current stable a week ago.
