Veteran campaigner who followed up solid second here by winning by a head over this trip at Dundalk at the start of last month. Races off a 3lb higher mark here but won here before and interesting off top weight.

Having his first start for this yard and first outing since September last year when finishing a well beaten ninth at Newcastle over 5f earlier this month. Likely to have improved for that outing but last success came over 18 months ago.

Sent off favourite on the back of two poor efforts over further here when finishing fourth at Chelmsford over 6f last time out. Well handicapped on old form but more needed under apprentice jockey here.

Beaten ½L when finishing runner-up in a Class 7 event over C&D last month. That effort one of four placings in five starts for this yard and likely to be on the premises once more.

14/1
Finished runner-up over 6f at Chelmsford earlier this month. Been running well in the main in 2017 but remains a maiden after 31 starts and others make more appeal for win purposes.

Maiden after 11 starts but did finish third at Newcastle over 5f in January. Races off a 5lb lower mark here having disappointed twice subsequently but interesting if returning to that form.

Forecasts

Oor Jock (13/8), Broughtons Fancy (5/2), Virile (6/1), Mr Chuckles (13/2), Justice Rock (14/1), Ambitious Boy (14/1), Bogsnog (16/1), Sparkling Cossack (18/1), Local Artist (22/1), Louis Vee (33/1), Barnsdale (80/1)

Verdict

MR CHUCKLES finished runner-up over this C&D last time out and can go one better to register a second career success in this event. .The selection has been in decent form since joining this yard and represents a yard with a 22% strike rate (2/9) in recent weeks. Oor Jock has to be respected in this grade and races off a mark 3lb higher than when successful at Dundalk last time out while Bogsnog can put a poor effort on debut behind for this yard behind him by claiming third.
  1. Mr Chuckles
  2. Oor Jock
  3. Bogsnog
