10/11

C&D winner in February who posted good fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 4/1) 17 days ago given she wasn't ideally placed. Bold showing is very much on the cards.

Form: 03-5214

(10)

Thatsthefinest⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 49| D

6/1

Modest gelding. 10/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 6 days ago, all out. Another step forward is required at these weights, however.

Form: 126-751

Forecasts

Western Music (10/11), Jack Ryan (7/2), Thatsthefinest (6/1), Arzaak (7/1), Giant Steps (20/1), Fossos (20/1), Trulie Good (25/1), Gordonontheorgan (50/1), Elektronic (80/1), Civil Justice Gone (250/1)

WESTERN MUSIC didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Newcastle so this C&D scorer gets the nod in a race where lots arrive with question marks against them. Course winner Arzaak comes here in good nick though and he looks the chief threat with Jack Ryan not ruled out either in refitted blinkers.
