Charlatan⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Taryn Langley⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 50| BF| CD

Form: 9682-12

Forecasts

Charlatan (3/1), Raqraaq (4/1), Overnight Oats (4/1), Devasboy (6/1), Kondratiev Wave (13/2), Delta Legend (7/1), Claxton Bay (18/1), Colorada Dancer (20/1), Takeover Target (50/1), First Greyed (80/1)

CHARLATAN rates the pick of the weights under a 5 lb penalty for his cosy Southwell victory so looks the way to go at the chief expense of in-form duo Overnight Oats and Kondratiev Wave, who can chase home David Simcock's 5-y-o in that order.
