Lambourn James Burn

Stepper Point (7.15 Chelmsford, nap)

Without a win since July 2015, but suffered from a heart problem and may have just taken time to get over it. As a result he is down to a tasty mark and his best form is high class.

Royalistic (9.15 Chelmsford, nap)

John Gosden’s three-year-old was doing all his best work when third to Cloud Dragon over a mile at Lingfield last month and should be suited by this step up in trip. The son of New Approach has since worked nicely on the Al Bahathri Polytrack.
