Carvalhal^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Dods| OR: 57

11/1

Winner at Hamilton in August. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 6/1) 17 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Booking of Murphy catches the eye and he's worth considering down in grade.

Forecasts

Bold Suitor (15/8), H Key Lails (10/3), Charlatan (5/1), Drifts Away (13/2), High Court Judge (7/1), Carvalhal (11/1), Kessaar Power (12/1), Top Button (40/1), Kodiac Brave (50/1), Rising Force (50/1)

H KEY LAILS and Bold Suitor were closely matched over C&D 4 weeks ago and may dominate this, with preference for the former. The latter has shaped well here since that contest and Carvalhal looks of interest dropping in grade with Oisin Murphy booked.
