10/1

Good third on the AW at Chelmsford (5f) in May. Well beaten at Sandown (5f, soft) last time out however and others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Wiley Post (10/11), Three Little Birds (9/4), Enthaar (7/2), King Crimson (5/1), Essaka (7/1), Kodiac Express (10/1)

WILEY POST performed well in a better race last time out and he can register back-to-back victories in this sprint handicap. The selection looks capable of seeing off King Crimson who has won twice at this venue this season while third place can go to Three Little Birds who was placed at Ascot on his most recent appearance.
