Landed a minor Chelmsford race for William Haggas but proved disappointing since. Has moved to a yard that do well with their sprinters but regular headgear removed.

Harry Beau^t,v¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| D

4/1

Record of 3-30 overall and 0-5 on AW. Probably better at 7f nowadays and this quick 6f may prove too sharp.

Curious Fox²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A Carson| OR: 72| BF| CD

14/1

2-2 for in Class 5 handicaps here and won or placed on last four starts in this grade including off this mark last month. Tough draw to overcome and has messed up the start on last two outings, but hard to dismiss with her prior record.

Letmestopyouthere¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 72| D

4/1

4-49 to date but signs on stable debut that record will improve. Tends to be delivered late and that will require luck around here from an unhelpful draw.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 71| D

8/1

Was on a roll in the summer with three wins at Catterick and Chelmsford all at this trip. Showed he had potential from this kind of mark last time when third over 5f, but 0-20 in this grade.

Winklemann^p²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 70

8/1

Sole win came on debut in an Italian maiden. Has run some good races in defeat but a tendency to start slowly will be a problem around here.

Form: 8-32445

Forecasts

Letmestopyouthere (4/1), Harry Beau (4/1), Evening Attire (7/1), Anonymous John (15/2), Indian Pursuit (8/1), Diamond Lady (8/1), Winklemann (8/1), Kath's Lustre (10/1), Seprani (10/1), Curious Fox (14/1), Red Cymbal (14/1), Porto Ferro (16/1)

William Stone has a 100% record in this so Evening Attire and the 2015 winner Diamond Lady are obvious contenders in an open event. It won't be long before the Archie Watson magic rubs off on Letmestopyouthere but his style of running and today's draw may mean he has to wait for another day. Curious Fox has a good record here as does KATH'S LUSTRE. Neither are particularly well drawn but the selection is a prominent racer who is well-handicapped for her first run in blinkers and will appreciate the return to this trip.
