BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE
CITY SELECTIONS TAHONTA looks to have been found a decent opportunity. He’s yet to race at this course but has handled the Polytrack well enough at Lingfield to be given the benefit of the doubt. Shamshon retains his enthusiasm and is again rated as a player at this level, while Company Minx and Cazeva Princess are closely matched on recent efforts and are also considered.

PLAY SMARTER TAHONTA has been shaping well since joining Archie Watson, finishing runner-up at Southwell before having an excuse for his latest performance. He can get back to winning ways dropped in grade, with Jumira Bridge feared most back at Chelmsford. Shamshon could also go well back up in trip.
