Latest win at Epsom in July. 25/1, well-beaten ninth of 10 to Etretat in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 13 days ago, doing too much too soon. Clearly has work to do.

C&D winner in November. 16/5, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 28 days ago. Solid each-way claims off the same mark.

Thrice-raced winner. 5/1, last of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) when last seen 7 months ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Etretat (2/1), Arcadian Nights (3/1), Switchel (11/2), Sonnerie Power (13/2), Tiptoe (8/1), Warren Hill (12/1), Cephalus (14/1), Gordon Grey (20/1)

Verdict

The reliable ETRETAT looked better than ever when striking at Lingfield recently and a 5 lb rise is unlikely to be enough to prevent him from going in again. Switchel is also consistent and she is feared most ahead of top-weight Arcadian Nights.
