Verdict

Sole 3-y-o CRANACHAN improved significantly for the stiffer test of stamina at Chester last time and remains relatively low mileage. He is fancied to go in again. Vaguely Royal and Just An Hour may provide the chief threat.

6	Rejuvenated by switch to visor when capitalising on a career-low mark at Chester in July and improved on that when following up at York (2m, good, 10/3) later that month. Undone by slow start at Musselburgh since and looks a likely player here. 2nd Pick 6 Vaguely Royal (Ire) Jockey: William Buick Trainer: Ian Williams J: William Buick T: Ian Williams	96	-	-	-	36%

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Overlay

A horse going off at higher odds than his recent efforts show that he deserves.

Minus Pool

A pari-mutuel pool – typically a show pool - where one horse is so heavily bet that after deductions there is not enough money left to cover the prescribed minimum on each bet.

Bobble/Stumble

A slip or a duck from a horse trying to leave the starting gates, often caused by the surface giving way under the feet. This can range from a mild misstep to a stumble down to their knees.
