Vitesse Du Son^t¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan| T: M Pattinson| OR: 46| D

20/1

Modest gelding. 25/1, eighth of 11 in classified at Wolverhampton (7f) 19 days ago. Tongue strap back on.

Form: 54000-8

(9)

Western Music¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 48

3/1

Improved when close third in C&D handicap last month and shaped as if still in good form (caught too far back) when fifth at Chelmsford since. Needs considering.

Form: 7/6203-5

Forecasts

Atrafan (11/4), Western Music (3/1), Crazy Spin (10/3), Arlo's Sunshine (13/2), Lincoln Red (10/1), Sovereign Moon (11/1), Vitesse Du Son (20/1), Gonzaga (22/1), Sea Fern (50/1), Nozieres (125/1)

WESTERN MUSIC had an excuse when fifth at Chelmsford last time and has sound claims on the form she showed when third in a C&D handicap prior to that. Crazy Spin arrives on the back of 3 successive in-frame efforts and ought to be competitive again, while Atrafan and Sovereign Moon are respected as recent winners.
