6/4
11/2, won 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford (1m) 8 days ago. Did well to get up having still had plenty to do 2f out so a 3 lb rise may not stop him.

Still a maiden but did go close over 9.5f here last month. Not disgraced when seventh of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11f) 18 days ago. Down in trip.

Latest win at Chelmsford in January. 5/2, unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (9.5f) 19 days ago, hampered 1f out. Shortlist material.

Creditable third of 6 in handicap (7/1) at this course (9.5f) 32 days ago, not ideally placed. Should be thereabouts if in similar form.

Forecasts

Lough Leane (6/4), Calcutta Dream (7/2), Star Of St Louis (13/2), Havana Goldrush (9/1), Hazel Bear (10/1), Kemerton (11/1), Van Zant (12/1), Beau Geste (16/1), Descendant (100/1)

Verdict

David Simcock looks to hold a strong hand in the second division of this handicap too, with LOUGH LEANE selected to make light of a 3lb rise for last week's Chelmsford success. Calcutta Dream didn't enjoy the rub of the green here last time and is second choice ahead of Kemerton.

  1. Lough Leane6/4
  2. Calcutta Dream7/2
  3. Kemerton11/1
