Course winner over 5f in July. Good in-frame efforts at Doncaster and Beverley (both 5f) since. Just as effective at 6f. Should go well again.

Just second start for this yard when scoring cosily at Catterick (6f) last month. Respectable third on much softer ground at Hamilton a week later. Can show he's still on a good mark back on a sounder surface.

Thrice-raced maiden on Flat for Harry Eustace. No show in 2 juvenile hurdles for Dan Skelton this summer and can only watch now sprint handicapping for new trainer Martin Keighley.

Won over C&D and at Newcastle this summer but his last couple of runs suggest he may have gone off the boil.

Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 4/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Forecasts

La La Lucrative (5/2), Emperor Caradoc (3/1), Flash The Dash (5/1), Golden Duke (13/2), Gis A Sub (7/1), Fiscal Policy (17/2), Flavius Titus (16/1), Urban Dandy (50/1), Happy Place (80/1)

Verdict

FISCAL POLICY is given another chance to show he's still on a good mark back on quicker ground. Emperor Caradoc has been running well since the start of the summer and is second choice ahead of Nigel Tinkler's Golden Duke.
