The Defiant^p,t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: T P Queally| T: L A Dace| OR: 65| D

15/2

Opened his account for present yard at Chelmsford (5f) in March and good placed efforts on 2 of his next 4 starts, latterly on turf at Epsom (5f) in April. Recent efforts not so inspiring but probably best excused latest run over 6f at Lingfield. Better showing not ruled out down in class.

Form: 253568

Wrestling Revenue¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 65| CD

Opened his account over C&D in May and respectable efforts since, not beaten far when fourth of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Not discounted.

Say You'll Never⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 64

2/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good neck second of 5 to Wrestling Revenue in handicap (5/2) at this C&D (good) 48 days ago, clear of rest. Remains less exposed than most and likely she'll be thereabouts.

Form: 35-332

Forecasts

Wrestling Revenue (5/4), Say You'll Never (2/1), Batchelor Boy (9/2), The Defiant (15/2), Porterinthejungle (12/1)

THE DEFIANT's recent form figures don't inspire confidence but he takes an appreciable drop in grade here and could be worth chancing to bounce back from his easing mark returned to the minimum trip. Wrestling Revenue and Say You'll Never, who finished 1-2 over C&D in May, are others to consider.
