C&D winner. Too free when sixth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly if settling better.

9/1
14/1, won 11-runner minor event at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Still in the picture though.

Forecasts

Purple Martini (7/2), Without Delay (7/2), Gobi Sunset (13/2), Pembrokeshire (7/1), Code Purple (15/2), Darbucks (15/2), Going Underground (9/1), Concert Boy (14/1), Urban Dandy (20/1), Ignac Lamar (20/1), Keep Me Stable (33/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and WITHOUT DELAY is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his good recent Thirsk third. Southwell second Urban Dandy is feared most now the cheekpieces go back on, with C&D winners Pembrokeshire and Purple Martini also in the mix.

  1. Without Delay7/2
  2. Urban Dandy20/1
  3. Pembrokeshire7/1
