3.30 Dr Brass looks to have chance through a piece of form with Rum Jungle at Great Leighs in which he finished only a s.h off Henry Candy's third placed horse. Rum Jungle showed promise on his handicap debut off 68 NTO, finishing a 2.5 length 2/13 at Leicester and then he won on his next appearance in a class 4 Newmarket handicap off 2 lb higher. When last seen he was racing off 76 at Windsor and only went down by a length to the 85-rated Red Somerset. Thus, if Dr Brass can show similar sort of improvement, then bearing in mind their Grl form, he may have a chance off 72 here. Dr Brass tackled heavy going on his handicap debut LTO and finished a well beaten 3rd of 7 after being sent off the 10/3 fav. With conditions less testing today he may gain compensation. 7/1. 4.30 Lady Deauville looks the class horse in the race given she is the top rated and is a dual-listed race winner. The first three rivals she had behind at Salisbury, latest, when picking up a listed race over 10f were all rated higher than anything she encounters here. Her poor placing in the 1000 Guineas can perhaps be ignored as she's up against lesser horses here and she does infact have a bit of form at a higher level; she finished a 2-length 3rd in a Grp 3 at Newbury in April. She's proven on the ground too. 11/4
