UNFORGIVING MINUTE has won again here since landing this claimer last year and looks to have a leading chance on today’s terms. He’s weighted to beat last week’s Chelmsford winner Mujassam while Suzi's Connoisseur also won a claimer at the latter track recently but this is tougher. Los Camachos looks to be treading water in handicaps off his current mark but could figure at this lower level given he has the beating of Zalshah and Scofflaw is another dropping down in class.
