Slowmo^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 61| CD

6/1

C&D winner. 6/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) 6 days ago, left poorly placed following a tardy start from a wide draw. Not one to write off back on fibresand.

Pearl Acclaim⁶⁷²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-7| J: Phil Dennis| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 60| CD

66/1

Veteran 3-time C&D winner. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 14/1) when last seen in February 2019. Market may prove the best guide on belated return to action.

10/3

11/4, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) 32 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Remains low-mileage and not discounted if handling fibresand.

66/1

Forecasts

Loulin (16/5), Charles Le Brun (10/3), Slowmo (6/1), Tilsworth Rose (8/1), Red Stripes (17/2), Bluella (17/2), Navajo Dawn (14/1), Amazing Amaya (14/1), Archimedes (20/1), Nellie French (33/1), Angel Eyes (40/1), Walton Thorns (50/1), Tan (66/1), Pearl Acclaim (66/1)

This looks wide open and it may pay to take a chance on NAVAJO DAWN. Robyn Brisland's filly hasn't been seen to best effect on each of her last 2 starts but arrives 10 lb below her last winning mark (which came over C&D) and a good showing can be expected. Loulin and Bluella were 1-3 in a C&D event recently and can feature again, whilst Charles Le Brun also warrants a second look.
