Won a 6f handicap at Kempton (15/2) 35 days ago, capitalising on reduced mark when making headway on inner rail. Remains well treated and should be competitive again in similar company.

Has shown improved form recently with two third places, most recently in handicap at Southwell (10/1) 10 days ago, channelling enthusiasm more efficiently and keeping on well. Could build on that encouraging effort.

Won at this course (7f) in April. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (AW, 7f) at 25/1 six days ago when using more positive tactics. May appreciate return to Chelmsford.

9/2
Six-time winner. Finished last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (10/1) 20 days ago, easy to back and running well below form. Previous third in 6f AW handicap at Kempton showed retained ability and first-time cheekpieces could spark improvement.

8/1
Front-runner who has a course win and performs best when getting his own way. Third of 9 in handicap over 6f at Yarmouth (18/1) 22 days ago, showing a return to form after 4 months off. Could be dangerous back at this AW track if allowed to dictate.

Forecasts

Tyger Bay (4/1), My Mate Mike (4/1), Havana Sky (9/2), Daytona Lady (13/2), General Assembly (7/1), Rapido Girl (7/1), Poetic Jack (8/1), Master Dandy (14/1), Watermelon Sugar (33/1), Smasher (50/1)

Verdict

TYGER BAY capitalized on a reduced mark when scoring at Kempton recently for his fifth course and distance success there and remains well treated for this similar test. Poetic Jack showed a return to form when third at Yarmouth and could be dangerous if allowed to dictate from the front. Havana Sky generally performs better on all-weather and first-time cheekpieces could spark improvement.

  1. Tyger Bay4/1
  2. Poetic Jack8/1
  3. Havana Sky9/2
