9/2

2 wins from 5 runs this year. 14/1, fourteenth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, good) 16 days ago, run best excused on account of the draw. No surprise to see a better showing.

Dave Dexter⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Rowan Scott| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 82| D

13/2

Chepstow winner for Ralph Becket but rather hit and miss subsequently, only eighth of 12 in handicap at York (5f) 7 days ago. Is now 4 lb below last winning mark and he may well be sharper again.

Form: 1503-08

20/1

Dark Shot^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-4| J: Darragh Keenan| T: S Dixon| OR: 73| D

4/1

Losing run is mounting up but arrives in fair order for an in-form stable, again finding only one too good at Redcar (5f) 12 days ago, shaping well having conceded first run. Can go well again.

Forecasts

Zim Baby (11/8), Dark Shot (4/1), Autumn Flight (9/2), Dave Dexter (13/2), Wrenthorpe (9/1), Militia (10/1), Rayong (16/1), Wahoo (20/1)

A competitive sprint handicap with the vote in favour of AUTUMN FLIGHT. He wasn't seen to anything like best effect from the worst of the draw at York 16 days ago but had previously built up a solid record for his present stable and a much better showing is anticipated here. Dark Shot is in good order and feared, ahead of Zim Baby.
