Crimson Sand^p1⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: W Buick| T: R Hughes| OR: 86| CD

9/2

Three wins from 9 runs last year and ran creditably when second of 6 in handicap at this course (5f, AW) 41 days ago. despite not being seen to best effect. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Could still have a bigger performance in him.

Inflection Point^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: C J MacRedmond⁽⁵⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 84| D

20/1

Unreliable type who really should have won when second of 10 in claimer (7/4) at Dundalk (7f) 14 days ago, worried out of things late on. Others preferred from a win point of view.

Forecasts

Tommy de Vito (10/3), Crimson Sand (9/2), If You Dare (13/2), Jack's Point (7/1), Count Otto (15/2), Asadjumeirah (11/1), Whittle Le Woods (12/1), Shallow Hal (14/1), Mulzim (16/1), Inflection Point (20/1), Mighty Gurkha (22/1), Muscika (25/1)

CRIMSON SAND ran creditably without everything going his way here last time and could still have a bigger performance in him, so he's an appealing candidate. Stall 12 is far from ideal for Tommy de Vito but his current mark doesn't look beyond him, while others to consider are Asadjumeirah and Shallow Hal.
