Raabeh²⁸

Obtuse^b¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: P D Evans| OR: 69| CD

11/8

Fair gelding. C&D winner. 50/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft) 10 days ago, possibly unsuited by the softest conditions he's faced.

Form: 523580

Celerity^v¹¹

Form: 590-585

(4)

Stamford Bridge¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 55

50/1

Modest gelding. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, very slowly away.

Form: 804-076

Forecasts

Obtuse (11/8), Doc Sportello (16/5), Good Earth (4/1), Alsvinder (5/1), Glorious Charmer (10/1), Raabeh (28/1), Stamford Bridge (50/1), Celerity (150/1)

An excellent opportunity for DOC SPORTELLO to resume winning ways on these terms back down in class. The thriving Good Earth is feared most ahead of Alsvinder and Obtuse.
