Valsharah^t,p¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 57

4/1

Remains a maiden after 20 runs. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, badly bumped start when second of 11 in 6f handicap at Kempton 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and needs considering.

Form: 368-062

Forecasts

Cayman Tai (10/3), Kirkdale (9/2), Valsharah (5/1), Punchbowl Flyer (5/1), Lequinto (6/1), Brian The Snail (6/1), Pianoforte (7/1), Megaphone (50/1), Due Date (50/1)

A few with chances but it could pay to side with CAYMAN TAI who looked an unlucky loser when runner-up at Newcastle last time and hails from a yard among the winners. Kirkdale is weighted to have a big say after a break and rates next best, although both Punchbowl Flyer and Valsharah are also well in the mix.
