Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Tristan Godden

Draw: 4 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
The programme has not suited him and that is why he drops back to the 1200m. He does have early gate speed and should not be too far out of his ground turning for home. He is going into this race fresh due to the all the rain and another honest run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:78. Good latest against weaker. Fitter now and has obvious claims.
