1.38/1(+80%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Enochdhu 1.38/1, Muhaarar colt who has displayed a modicum of promise in trio of 7f novice/maiden events in recent months. Another who will hold more chance now handicapping and positive market vibes would look significant. | |||
2nd (6)  (8.5/1 -6%)Lady Wormsley |
8.5/1(-6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lady Wormsley 8.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 13 days ago. Makes handicap debut. | |||

6.5/1(-189%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Queen's Eyot 6.5/1, Belardo gelding who stepped up switched to nurseries when hitting the frame at Ffos Las/over 6f here prior to getting off the mark (in first-time cheekpieces) at Yarmouth (1m) 10 days ago, leading over 1f out and keeping on. Sound claims again under a penalty. | |||
