Three-time C&D winner. 10/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford (5f) when last seen in March. Much depends on whether he's ready to roll after 129 days off.

Trusty Rusty^h⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48

(6)

Swell Song^v¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: E J Walsh| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 45

14/1

Brazen Jesse^p1⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 45

Form: P-000

Forecasts

Trusty Rusty (3/1), Raabeh (3/1), Refuge (4/1), Arzaak (6/1), Island Memory (11/1), Swell Song (14/1), Precious Plum (14/1), Lancashire Life (20/1), Uptoon Girl (40/1), Adaalady (50/1), Brazen Jesse (80/1)

It's perhaps worth taking a chance that a change of yard sparks TRUSTY RUSTY back to life as she is well handicapped on the best of last year's efforts and it's possible this drop back to 5f will help. Like many from the Antony Brittain yard, Raabeh usually runs a race here so he's shortlisted along with top-weight Refuge.
