Modest horse. Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 15/2, creditable third of 11 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 24 days ago. Should give another good account.

9/2

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 48

Forecasts

Bazalgette (15/8), Channel Packet (3/1), Six Strings (9/2), Three Dons (9/2), Somedayonedaynever (8/1), Letter Of The Law (16/1), Highland Lass (100/1)

A lowly affair that could provide THREE DONS with an opportunity to belatedly shed his maiden tag. Channel Packet also arrives on the back of a reasonable effort and is feared most, while a well-run race would bring Bazalgette into the reckoning.
