Down to class 6 here, George Dryden has a time from 2018 that would make it 2nd top-rated but hasn't really been in form lately and the jockeys 0-19 record for the stable makes me think its not ready to bounce back to form here, Broughton Excels is well weighted on its best times but still only good enough to make it my 3rd top-rated, my top rated on 2019 times is *DARING GUEST 9/1 who likes to stay on strongly at the finish and could get a good tow into the race with a possible frontrunner being drawn next door in stall 10.
* NR
CHELMSFORD 8.00
With 3 possible frontrunners this should be a true run race and I'm hoping my selection can lead all the way here but my stakes won't be at full power, Nampara in stall 1 and Tan are my joint 3rd top-rated horses and the latter has been known to lead but only usually if nothing else wants to, Time To Reason is 2nd best and this one likes to track the pace and then stay on strongly at the finish but if RED STRIPES 11/1 leads here from stall 6 it could prove hard to catch and the apprentices 7lb claim could swing things even more into its favour and as usual if the price is big enough I would say to go with an each-way wager.
Red Stripes 11/1 8th
