Unseated rider start in handicap (8/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 8 days ago. Good Lingfield second prior to that so he can give a good account.

18/1

Tenth of 12 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 13/2) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. No forlorn hope.

Forecasts

Dandy Dinmont (11/4), Nelson Gay (11/2), Show Me Show Me (13/2), Newyorkstateofmind (15/2), Prodigious Blue (15/2), Little Muddy (9/1), Elzaal (14/1), Run This Way (16/1), Belsito (18/1), Libertus (20/1), Ben Macdui (22/1), Jarvis (33/1), Murbih (40/1), Blazing Hot (50/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and NELSON GAY is fancied to capitalise on a good mark and end a losing run for his current yard. Little Muddy is feared most in her attempt to bag a third win of 2023 ahead of Libertus who appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
