Verdict

BLONDIE LARRY improved from his first run at Nottingham when finishing second at Windsor and, with more progression to come, Jamie Osborne's juvenile looks to have a novice heat like this well within his compass. Amber Ocean finished an encouraging second on her debut at Wolverhampton in April and has been given time to strengthen up, while Chilli isn't out of it.

Top Tip: Blondie Larry (1)
Watch out for: Amber Ocean (6)

BLONDIE LARRY took a big step forward on his second start and will be tough to beat if matching that form here. He was only beaten by a useful looking rival that day and will once again be suited by 5f on fast ground once again. Amber Ocean's debut runner up effort has been boosted at Listed level so she looks the obvious danger but she does have an absence to overcome. Chilli also brings in some strong form but needs to prove she handles a quick surface.
