Verdict

Chosen World ended a long losing run when narrowly beating Bobby Joe Leg over track and trip a week ago and carries 4lb extra today. Crantock Bay came up short once again when second in a maiden race at Chelmsford while Thaayer was well beaten back here having won at the track before that. CMON CMON hasn’t raced since October but is only 2lb higher than when landing a course and distance double and a chance is taken Nigel Tinkler’s charge is ready for action on his return.
