Horsham Race 11 - Chs Group
NEEDFUL (5) could manage only second last time but ran quick time (23.03) at this track over 410m when beaten 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5. Smart effort latest and looks a key chance again here. MORE BEER PLEASE (7) box seated before sticking on well to finish 1.5 lengths away in third (23.25) at this track in a Grade 5 over 410m. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from six starts. Can measure up.

Among the main chances. PAW NIALL (2) made it two minor placings on the trot when beaten third (23.19) in a Grade 5 at this track last time out.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4 length third over 410m at this track, clocking 23.19. Should be around the mark.
