Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 73| D

11/4

Goes from strength to strength and recorded third win in four starts at Chepstow last week, looking to have plenty left in the locker. Has won under this pilot already and although has the penalty to carry, still looks the one to beat.

Form: 431711

Crystal Casque²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 70| D

5/2

Had been steadily finding her form this season so no surprise that she came good at Kempton last time out, getting up late in the day to win, Nudged up a couple of pounds for that but jockey already ridden a couple of winners, which will help.

Form: 35-9321

Rock Boy Grey³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 70

6/1

Handicap debut today, showed ability on first two starts but does need to put a poor effort at Nottingham last time out behind him. Heavy ground a possible excuse, but has to bounce back now.

Form: 54-5

Stay Forever²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Miss Kayleigh Stephens⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 64

11/4

No win in nine starts but has hit the frame a few times and clearly has ability. Has chances of reversing earlier form with Jungle Juice (at Salisbury) at the weights but may not be as progressive as she is, and overall has a bit to find.

Form: 662926

Misu Pete^p¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁵⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56| C| D

7/1

Only a couple of pounds higher than last win but not really going anywhere quickly at present and others bring much better recent form to the table. Hard to fancy.

Forecasts

Crystal Casque (5/2), Kachumba (5/2), Stay Forever (11/4), Jungle Juice (11/4), Rock Boy Grey (6/1), Misu Pete (7/1), Balata Bay (25/1)

The three last time out winners might be the ones to concentrate on. Crystal Casque could be the one to catch after her Kempton win but preference is for KACHUMBA, who found form with a vengeance at Brighton and her young pilot looks to be going places. She can go in again. Jungle Juice just keeps on winning and will make her presence felt.
