Looked very rusty after 6 months off when fifth of 6 in handicap (18/5) at Chelmsford City (10f) 30 days ago, off the bridle before most and never a threat. Should be much closer to form here.

Forecasts

For Richard (9/4), Critique (11/2), Shyjack (7/1), Gold Souk (15/2), Flower Of Thunder (8/1), Violet's Lads (8/1), Jeddeyd (17/2), Couldn't Could She (12/1), Amaretto (16/1), Herre Dittery (22/1), Kerrera (28/1), Glencoe Boy (80/1), Clipsham Tiger (80/1), Handful Of Gold (200/1)

Verdict

This can go to FOR RICHARD, who looked better than ever following a breathing operation when scoring on the all-weather here 12 days ago and is taken to follow up from just a 3 lb higher mark. Critique shaped as if needing the run on return at Chelmsford so he's taken to chase the selection home, ahead of Shyjack and Gold Souk.
