Forecasts

Elenora Delight (11/4), Squire (3/1), Rippling Waters (7/2), Cockney Boy (7/2), Sir Gnet (6/1), Accomplice (9/1), Duchess Of Avon (12/1), Dukes Meadow (16/1), Zaeem (16/1), Perfect Soldier (16/1)

Verdict

It remains to be seen if Elonora Delight takes up this engagement as she is entered at Kempton on Wednesday evening. Even without her presence this is a tricky little puzzle that looks as though it could be run at a good pace and that may well suit DUCHESS OF AVON who returns to handicaps with more potential that some of these. Several like to go forward and that may lead to a contested pace between Rippling Waters, Zaeem and Cockney Boy which may compromise the chances of that trio. Accomplice is interesting on some of her form and if she can gain a better track position this time she would have a place chance. Squire also enters the equation given his still workable handicap mark.
  1. Duchess Of Avon
  2. Accomplice
  3. Squire
