INVERLOCHY (1) looks to be progressing nicely now she's got her head in front and the Crisford-trained runner can complete the hat-trick by following up a recent snug course and distance success. ENOLA GREY (3) beat Cusack, who ran in the previous contest, in a track and trip apprentice handicap last time and makes obvious appeal with Ethan Jones now able to utilise his full 7.7lb claim. Chelmsford (1m2f) third CLIPSHAM GOLD (5) could go well dropping back in trip and six-time course winner BOBBY JOE LEG (8) can never be discounted at this venue.
