Form & Verdict
Went the wrong way for Richard Spencer but he made a pleasing stable debut at Lingfield two weeks ago, sent to the front in the straight but unable to hold off the late challenge of a progressive rival; should be quick enough for 5f and he appeals as being ahead of his mark; good draw and looks a major player.

Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks.

Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also.
