Improved when scoring from a basement mark at Chepstow early this month before taking another step forward to follow up over same C&D 6 days, Up on the recently and should be able to defy a penalty.

Dappled Light¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 50| D

11/4

Got back on track returned to less testing conditions when a nose behind Kalama Sunrise in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 13/2) 15 days ago. Remains lower in the weights than when winning in Ireland last season and rates as the main danger.

Form: 10-6502

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: William Cox| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 49| C

9/1

Better than result when sixth at Bath in May but below expectations when filling the same position at Chepstow (10f, good, 11/4) 6 days ago. Probably needs a couple to falter if he's to score.

Forecasts

Kalama Sunrise (5/4), Dappled Light (11/4), Mykonos St John (15/2), Thewaytothestars (17/2), Zambezi Magic (9/1), Signature Blue (16/1)

KALAMA SUNRISE is going the right way now and can complete the hat-trick, once again at the chief expense of Dappled Light, who finished well from rear in their meeting at Chepstow earlier in the month. Handicap-newcomer Signature Blue may do better in this sphere and completes the 1-2-3.
