Compton Bay^p1³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 57

18/1

Modest form. Third in 7f Wolverhampton nursery in October but ran no sort of race at Chelmsford since. First-time cheekpieces need to help spark a revival.

(2)

Glen Heste¹⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Finley Marsh| T: P D Evans| OR: 55

3/1

Forecasts

Perfect Spring (11/4), Glen Heste (3/1), Hand Jive (10/3), Aspire To Glory (11/1), Meet Me In Meraki (12/1), Restricted (14/1), Birkie Boy (14/1), Damia (16/1), Run Joy Run (16/1), Compton Bay (18/1), Subaltern (18/1), Quiet Affair (22/1), Tejesueno (50/1), Tea Leaf Ted (66/1)

PERFECT SPRING returned from a break with a good second over 6f here 4 weeks ago and can go one better now back over 7f. Quiet Affair wasn't too far behind the selection in fourth on that occasion and should go well again if the blinkers continue to make a difference. Glen Heste is a handicap newcomer to monitor closely in the betting, while Charlie Johnston's Hand Jive could also have a say if stall 14 doesn't prove too troublesome.
