7/4
Fair gelding. 13/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago, pulling way to front after 2f and weakening final 1f. Needs to settle better now dropped in to claiming company.

5/2
Fair filly who got off the mark in a Thirsk maiden (7f) in April. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 14 days ago. Hood on 1st time and possibilities eased in class.

9/2

12/1
Iffraaj filly who opener her account in 4-runner Chepstow novice (7f) in June. However, opening mark has looked stiff enough and she's not threatened in handicaps at Brighton/Chelmsford since.

Forecasts

Heatherdown Hero (7/4), Lucia Joy (5/2), Maffeo Barberini (9/2), Nurseclaire (9/2), Days Like This (12/1)

Verdict

This looks decidedly trappy but LUCIA JOY arrives on the back of a creditable display at Chelmsford recently and, equipped with a first-time hood, she could be the answer. Nurseclaire and Heatherdown Hero can give her most to think about.

  1. Lucia Joy5/2
  2. Nurseclaire9/2
  3. Heatherdown Hero7/4
