Career best when winning 9-runner C&D handicap 23 days ago, although was suited by the way the race developed and will need another career best to follow up off 7 lb higher.

Course winner. 12/1, won 12-runner handicap at Southwell (7f) 9 days ago, making all. Well drawn to attack again and a 2 lb rise may not stop him.

Forecasts

Havana Force (9/4), Mesaafi (7/2), Fools Rush In (4/1), Circles (6/1), Where's Freddy (7/1), Harbour Vision (14/1), The Caribbean (20/1), Flatley (25/1), Evocative Spark (33/1), Eden Storm (33/1)

Verdict

FOOLS RUSH IN was only nudged up 2 lb for his recent Southwell win and may be able to follow up. Where's Freddy wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford last month and is a possible threat under Sean Levey, who is often a good booking for the Stuart Williams stable. Mesaafi ended his time for Charlie Fellowes with 3 creditable placed efforts on AW (including C&D) and is also respected starting out for Simon Pearce.
