Kingsley Klarion²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Winston| T: J Butler| OR: 65| C

20/1

Drops in class here and would be capable of carrying this lot home on his best form, but it's some time since he showed any of that and after another lacklustre display latest, can only be watched at present.

Bridge Of Sighs²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: L Carter| OR: 65| C| D

15/2

C&D winner if you go back far enough, but like many from the yard has been tried over various trips over the past year and now hard to know what best trip is. However, seems to be off the boil at present anyway, and others preferred.

Complicit^p²²

15/8

Well backed to finally poke his head in front at Chelmsford after a series of consistent efforts and duly obliged. Handicapper hasn't gone overboard with a 4lb rise and given he's just as effective at this trip, chance of the follow-up.

Bobby Benton¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: J & S Best| OR: 65| CD

6/1

Has plenty of good form on the track and surface, and looks nicely handicapped don the best of his form, but new yard may need a bit longer with him before he gets back on the scoresheet after a moderate effort last time out.

Form: 46186/7-

Luna Magic^h¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Simon Pearce| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 63| CD

10/1

Took advantage of a falling handicap mark when finding some form out of the blue to score over C&D last time out, but pace collapsed a bit there and that may not be the scenario today. On that, may have to wait to win again.

No Approval²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Poppy Bridgwater⁽⁷⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 62| D

5/1

Bang in form for previous yard, winning back-to-back handicaps at Dundalk and clearly sand surfaces and a mile both ideal, but on new higher mark mark for new yard now and this is tougher. Not ruled out, but needs a bit more again.

Seek The Fair Land^b⁶⁶

Age: 12| Weight: 9-3| J: Racheal Kneller⁽⁵⁾| T: D Steele| OR: 61| CD

66/1

Been around the block a bit and pops up from time to time, no issue with conditions but recent form is awful and on that, can only be watched here.

Form: 516/600-

Masquerade Bling¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 60

5/1

Generally consistent and did win one at Newcastle (7f) last September, and only just touched off here last time out, caught close home. Step up to a mile fine, but win record of 1-23 is the sticking point.

Mime Dance²⁰⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 58| D

40/1

Useful 7f/1m handicapper at his peak, but it's been a tale of woe for some time now and he shows no signs of arresting the slide. Not seen out since June and likely to need this anyway.

Form: 467900-

Baby Gal¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: J R Boyle| OR: 57

14/1

Ran quite well upped to a mile here last time out, staying on nicely from off the pace and not beaten far. Chance of a bit of improvement at this trip then, and if taking another step forward, could get involved in the race for places at least.

Forecasts

Complicit (15/8), Masquerade Bling (5/1), No Approval (5/1), Black Dave (5/1), Bobby Benton (6/1), Bridge Of Sighs (15/2), Luna Magic (10/1), Baby Gal (14/1), Kingsley Klarion (20/1), Mime Dance (40/1), Seek The Fair Land (66/1)

Complicit holds an obvious chance of going in again after his latest success but maybe it's worth chancing bottom weight BABY GAL, who has shown a bit of ability and might have a bit more improvement in the locker at this trip. She's not drawn badly and if threading her way through late on, might snatch the prize. No Approval may be best of the rest.
