Hot Chesnut⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S Donohoe| T: D K Ivory| OR: 68| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Newbury (7f, good to soft) 58 days ago, beaten over 2f out. Given a break since and better showing not ruled out returned to this venue/operating 3 lb below last winning mark.

Form: 710-049

Zumurud^v¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: J F Egan| T: M Walford| OR: 67| CD

3/1

Tumbled in weights and, in line with yard's good form, capitalised in a change of headgear when winning 6-runner C&D handicap 13 days ago. Consistency not his strong suit but he's a player with a repeat from 4 lb higher.

Just Amber²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Fahy| T: C G Cox| OR: 65| D

4/1

9/2, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. That was her first start for 6 months and she may well be sharper here.

Form: 1072-64

Flylikeaneagle^b,t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: O J Orr| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 60

11/4

Resurgent for new yard, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in 6-runner handicap at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Good chance again.

Form: 900121

Sweet Madness⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 66| CD

14/1

3-y-o who landed back-to-back 1m nurseries in the autumn (latterly over C&D). Yet to fire this term though, last of 13 in handicap at Redcar (1m, 20/1) in May, beaten long way out. Break needs to have had positive effect.

Form: 511-800

Forecasts

Flylikeaneagle (11/4), Zumurud (3/1), Just Amber (4/1), Covert Mission (5/1), Eloso (9/1), Hot Chesnut (12/1), Sweet Madness (14/1), Global Art (25/1)

FLYLIKEANEAGLE has been resurgent upon joining Lucinda Russell, making it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in good style at Musselburgh 9 days ago, and he can enjoy further success here. Zumurud ended a losing run over C&D himself 2 weeks ago and is feared with a repeat, whilst Just Amber may step up on her Kempton reappearance run.
