Forecasts

Debonaire David (2/1), Love Oasis (10/3), Born To Finish (9/2), Anfaass (6/1), Higher Court (6/1), Fredricka (12/1), Spin Top (16/1), Lord Cooper (16/1), Bahamian Heights (25/1), Nag's Wag (28/1)

Verdict

A race in which a number of the runners are closely matched based upon some recent clashes. Born To Finish and Bahamian Heights finished third and fourth respectively when close up behind Red Alert at Lingfield recently (6f), and of that pair the more reliable former named is preferred. Higher Court just got the better of the proven synthetics performer Debonaire David at Kempton (6f) early last month, but the Richard Hughes trained runner can be fancied to extract his revenge from a better draw tonight (Chelmsford debut). However, he could be forced to play second fiddle to recent Wolverhampton winner LOVE OASIS. She landed a fillies handicap when returning to form, and whilst 4lb higher tonight, she remains well treated on the pick of her career form, and in truth this isn't the strongest of contests in which to attempt to follow up.
  1. Love Oasis
  2. Debonaire David
  3. Higher Court
