This is basement level stuff but a couple have really jumped off the page at big odds and with many out of form or needing a run and more than a few having genuine stamina worries; I'll be disappointed if we don't pick up some enhanced place profit.

 

The top 4 in the market, Round The Buoy who is up 12lbs for an out of the blue win last time, Shean Glory who was runner up over 2 miles last week and now upped a mile, Iridescent who has an obvious chance but who is a very sketchy jumper and Ocean Legacy whose best recent run would give it strong e/w claims are there on merit but none really inspire me with any confidence.

 

Royal Finesse seems to be going the right way and has a squeak, and at big odds Keenaghan Lass who has a 3 mile P2P win could be a longer term prospect but CHELSEAS FRIEND jumps off the page at me.

 

CHELSEAS FRIEND won off marks of 81 and 86 last season at 3 miles, back finally at 3 miles again off a mark of 89 and is one of the few who has shown it can win and win at the trip. I'll also have some shrapnel on outsider BEARWITHMENOW who is another with 3 mile P2P form and who ran better than the final placing suggested last time, prominent for a long way and I'm intrigued that they put the blinkers on and if that just calms him down he has a sporting chance at a big price here.
