Theonlywayiswessex⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King| OR: 62

10/3

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 5/1, below form fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft) 62 days ago. On a handy mark if back on song reverted to this sphere.

Form: 664/4V5-

Forecasts

Theonlywayiswessex (10/3), Later Darling (18/5), Genesius (11/2), Starfighter (11/2), Kentucky Kingdom (6/1), Largo Bay (7/1), Tralee Hills (18/1), Atalanta Breeze (20/1), Creationist (40/1), Mofridge (50/1)

STARFIGHTER comes here in excellent nick and remains unexposed over 1m4f so gets the vote in a competitive handicap. Both Theonlywayiswessex and Genesius are weighted to have a big say too and can chase home Mark Loughnane's 7-y-o in that order.
