Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 72

6/1

Recorded a career best when winning 4-runner handicap (7/4) at Chelmsford City (16f) 13 days ago, though helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 9lb higher now and bit more needed to follow up.

Form: 5641

Norman Kindu¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 69| CD

3/1

Stepped up on return when stylish winner of handicap (8/1) over C&D 16 days ago by ¾l from Carn A Chlamain. Up 3 lb but should improve further, so he merits serious consideration.

Form: 537-71

Zinc White²⁰¹

7/4

Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f), needing stiffer test. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip and likely to improve on handicap debut. Claims.

15/2

Fair maiden. Very good ¾-length second of 6 to Norman Kindu in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. In the picture once more.

Form: 936-72

Moneykenny¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: A M Balding| OR: 67

4/1

Opened his account in 6-runner minor event (11/8) at Southwell (11.1f) 12 days ago. Up in trip now handicapping and weighted to have a big say.

Form: 68-61

Forecasts

Zinc White (7/4), Norman Kindu (3/1), Moneykenny (4/1), Home And Dry (6/1), Carn A Chlamain (15/2)

A case can be made for all of these but the most persuasive one is for NORMAN KINDU who looked to have more to offer when a smooth victor over C&D and can defy a 3 lb rise in the weights. Southwell-scorer Moneykenny is rated next best, with fellow handicap debutant Zinc White not taken lightly either.
