10/1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Alex Jary⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 58| D

10/1

(9)

Little Ted^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| C| D

10/1

Unreliable type. Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good, 7/2) 17 days ago but he typically looked a little awkward under pressure.

Form: 9-36823

Forecasts

Cosmos Raj (5/1), Copper And Five (11/2), Global Spirit (11/2), Ey Up Its The Boss (6/1), Saisons D'Or (15/2), Diamond Haze (8/1), Makalu (10/1), Little Ted (10/1), Zumurud (10/1), Asdaa (22/1)

COSMOS RAJ added to his good course record when second over slightly further here last month and is taken to build on that and go one better this evening. Saisons d'Or is respected on the back of 2 placed efforts last month, while Zumurud is back on a winning mark and the booking of Tom Marquand suggests that a bold run might be on the cards.
