5/4
Formerly a very classy sort who wouldn't get anywhere near that form now and plies his trade in sellers but still has a handicap mark of 85. This is a poor contest and he's well in at the weights although he did get beaten in a claimer around here not long ago.

5/6
Winner of a Lingfield seller in April he ran a creditable race after that in a Chelmsford handicap over 1m2f. Made favourite on a trip to Sweden last time out but found that trip too short (1m1f). Without doubt the main danger to Retrieve but would be getting 11lb from the likely market leader in a handicap.

33/1
Lightly-raced maiden who failed to impress when stepped up in trip and relatively well backed in a Musselburgh handicap last time over 1m6f and has plenty of work to do with the principals at these weights.

16/1
Only modest form to his name and his losing run is beginning to mount up and at these weights he's unlikely to break that streak here.

Forecasts

Viewpoint (5/6), Retrieve (5/4), Moccasin (16/1), Needless Shouting (16/1), Ibreeq (33/1)

Verdict

A very modest contest and with Retrieve having been beaten around here a couple of runs ago it may be worth taking a chance with VIEWPOINT despite that one having a tough task at the weights. The other three look to have tough tasks and it would be hard to be confident about any of them with Ibreeq getting the nod for third.
  1. Viewpoint
  2. Retrieve
  3. Ibreeq
