Ended last season and also started this one on a low note but much better signs with fourth of 9 in 7f Catterick handicap 15 days ago, faring best of those held up. Very much one to consider off a reduced mark.

Past Winners

Analyst's Verdict

COMMANDER OF LIFE signalled he is ready to go in again when a very good recent Newbury second (form been well advertised) so looks the way to go in this open handicap. Jenni caught the eye when fourth at Catterick last time and is weighted to go well so heads the dangers ahead of in-form pair Al Muqdad and Farandaway.

Betting Forecast : 7/24.5 Farandaway, 7/24.5 Commander Of Life, 11/26.5 Evocative Spark, 13/27.5 Lumenbourg, 7/18 Al Muqdad, 10/111 Jenni, 11/112 Straight A, 80/181 War Howl
