Daany won easily over a longer trip at Chelmsford and is due to be raised by more than today’s penalty. Brazen Bolt has a shout having won three times over track and trip since August and beating Moonbootz, Bobby Joe Leg and Class Clown in the process but ASMUND (NAP) makes most appeal of the recent winners. The latter put a string of placed efforts behind him when landing an apprentices’ race in a higher grade at Redcar and Declan Carroll’s charge escapes a penalty for that success.
