Bloodhound^t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: S Lycett| OR: 48

14/1

Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (13.3f, 7/1) 18 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good once more.

Desiderata¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: T Faulkner| OR: 48| C

11/1

Unreliable sort. Course winner. Creditable second of 9 in minor event (6/1) at this course (9.5f) 14 days ago, no match for winner. This trip has seemingly stretched him in the past.

12/1

Knight Of Magic^h,t¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: James Owen| OR: 50| BF

6/5

Modest gelding. 10/11, sixth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Back up in trip and tongue strap on 1st time on for the first time in this sphere. Leading claims on these terms.

17/2

Modest gelding. Creditable second of 9 in minor event (33/1) at this C&D 10 days ago. 0-13 overall but not without an each-way chance.

Forecasts

Knight Of Magic (6/5), Starfighter (11/2), Prince Hector (8/1), Dancing Bay (17/2), Desiderata (11/1), Bigz Belief (12/1), Endofastorm (12/1), Bloodhound (14/1), Good Shot (22/1), Nakatomi (25/1), Lawmans Blis (33/1), Rosso Levanto (100/1)

KNIGHT OF MAGIC wasn't seen to best effect at Chelmsford recently and, in good form prior to that, he looks the way to go in a race that won't take a great deal of winning. The one to follow him home could be Prince Hector, while Dancing Bay also makes some each-way appeal.
