Loco Dempsey²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 46

14/1

Didn't show a great deal for Richard Hannon and well held after 15 months off for new yard at Kempton (12f) recently. Can only be of interest if subject of market support on fibresand debut.

Forecasts

Loose Chippings (6/5), Woke (9/2), Gulland Rock (5/1), Hell Of A Year (11/2), It's A Sin (11/1), Loco Dempsey (14/1)

An uninspiring closing contest in which LOOSE CHIPPINGS gets the nod to double his career tally and provide his 7-lb claimer Elle-May Croot with her first winner. Hell of A Year hasn't shown much in 5 starts so far but could feature for the up-and-coming Jessica Macey, along with It's A Sin on his fibresand debut.
