Eighth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Becoming well treated and might be fully tuned up now.

Cori Glory¹⁸

3/1

Career best when winning 6-runner maiden at Beverley (7.4f, soft, 5/2) 18 days ago, forging clear. Handicapper has taken no chances with her opening mark, but there's probably more to come.

Form: 5-431

(7)

Overrule¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Gray| T: K R Burke| OR: 76

11/2

17/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 13 days ago. Dropped another 1 lb since and seems likely to give his running again.

Forecasts

Detective (5/2), Strongbowe (11/4), Cori Glory (3/1), Overrule (11/2), Nikovo (6/1), Al Motasim (6/1), Dornoch Castle (7/1), Tuscan (16/1), Ludo's Landing (16/1)

AL MOTASIM got back on track when fourth at Newbury last time and his effort could be marked up given he made his challenge further towards the far side than ideal, so a chance is taken on him to get the better of Strongbowe, who was a good second over C&D 10 days ago. Cori Glory got off the mark in decisive fashion at Beverley last time, so she's also considered.
