16/1

Only win so far came over 6f at Wolverhampton off a mark of 55 a year ago. Finished third over 7f at Chelmsford last month but held twice since and others make more appeal in this.

Forecasts

Regarde Moi (5/2), Beach Bar (3/1), Chelwood Gate (9/2), Black Dave (8/1), Pobbles (8/1), Corporal Maddox (10/1), Luduamf (10/1), Aqua Libre (10/1), Our Boy Jack (11/1), Ivor's Magic (14/1), Jack The Laird (16/1), Locommotion (33/1)

Likely pacesetter BEACH BAR can defy top weight dropping significantly in grade in this claiming contest. The selection was running off a mark of 95 when last tackling handicap company in Dubai earlier this year and can get the better of the ex-Italian horse Regarde Moi who was successful in a similar race to this at Southwell in January. Of the remainder Pobbles receives weight from all her rivals today and can claim third with the visor fitted for the first time.
