7/2

16/1, sixth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, firm) 10 days ago. Easing in the weights but needs to raise his game a notch.

Forecasts

Bellevarde (7/2), Toptime (7/2), Lethal Blast (9/2), The Daley Express (11/2), Saras Hope (6/1), Seneca Chief (7/1), Glen Rosa (14/1), Union Rose (33/1)

THE DALEY EXPRESS has been a little disappointing since running well at Nottingham in May, but he's fallen to an attractive mark and could be ready to capitalise having run respectably at Bath last time. Lethal Blast is the type to bounce back quickly from a poor run at Lingfield, while Bellevarde ought to continue in form.
