Your Gifted would have leading claims if taking part but was engaged to run at Chepstow yesterday. Stonecrabstomorrow has a penalty for winning over C&D last week and BERMONDSEY BOB makes more appeal. His last victory came at this track and a couple of recent placed efforts suggest a return to winning ways is imminent. John Spearing's charge gets the nod ahead of Welsh Inlet, who is still a maiden, and Highland Harvest, who is in need of some respite from the handicapper.
Highland Harvest 13-2 (9-9) Led until over 2f out, soon rallied and every chance, kept on same pace final furlong, 4th of 8, 4l behind Elsie's Orphan (9-9) at Brighton 6f hcp 0-70 (5) gd.
Whiskey Junction 16-1 (9-3) In touch, ridden halfway, weakened over 1f out, 11th of 12, 17l behind Dashwood (9-7) at Nottingham 6f hcp 0-70 (5) gf.
Bermondsey Bob (IRE) 11-1 (9-4) Made most, ridden over 1f out, headed inside final furlong, stayed on same pace, 2nd of 14, 1l behind Flying Applause (9-10) at Nottingham 6f hcp 0-65 (6) gf.
Welsh Inlet (IRE) 14-1 (8-2) Hung badly right throughout, pressed leader until bit slipped through mouth hung badly right and virtually pulled up over 2f out, last of 8, 15l behind St Augustine (9-3) at Goodwood 6f 3yo hcp 0-85 (4) gf.
Stonecrabstomorrow (IRE) 18-1 (8-10) Outpaced in rear, headway over 1f out, led inside final furlong, soon strongly challenged, stayed on well, won at Brighton 5f hcp 0-60 (6) gd beating The Tatling (9-12) by 1l, 7 ran.
