Won over 6f here at the start of the month and followed up over 7f at Chelmsford (7f) 14 days ago. Good chance of the hat-trick if proving as effective over this shorter distance.

2/1
Unreliable individual. C&D winner. Latest win over 6f here in December. 10/3, creditable second of 6 in C&D handicap 3 days ago, running on. Not discounted but he is one who needs things to fall right.

Successful return to AW over C&D in November. Creditable third of 11 back here since. Should give another good account.

Forecasts

Rory (2/1), High Opinion (7/2), The Gay Blade (4/1), Urban Dandy (4/1), Herakles (7/1), Street Life (16/1), Candy Eye (50/1)

Verdict

The drop to 5f asks a different question but THE GAY BLADE is thriving at present and might be able to complete the hat-trick. Urban Dandy is another who arrives in form and is feared most ahead of High Opinion.
