A winner over 5f three times last year showing improved form on her last start she found it hard to cope with the higher marks after that. However she returned to form from out of the blue last time out over 5f having slipped below her last winning mark and runs of 4lb lower here. Should have a major chance if she can back-up her Doncaster run of last time om quicker ground.

6/1
The only C&D winner in the field he's hardly the most prolific winner but does generally run his race and usually travels strongly with them. Has been slowly away on a few occasions though and wouldn't want to repeat that "trick" given the quick 5f here.

9/4
Has flirted with breaking his maiden on a few occasions this year particularly when the stable was in good form a few months ago but failed to get the job done. Returned to maiden company last time out he exceeded expectations and looks to have been flattered by that run and hard to quite know what to expect her back in a handicap off his lowest ever mark.

Stable are always to be respected with their GB raiders even the ones which have poor form figures. This one looks to be best at 5f but does tend to race very freely although the tongue-tie is dispensed with now after four runs in it. Might be worth watching in the market given the connections.

The losing run now stretches back to December 2014 and has really run no sort of race on his most recent starts often finding the 5f trip too sharp for him.

Failed to make very much impression in maidens up to a mile and was given his handicap debut last time over 6f on soft at Ayr only beating one home and now dropped to a mark of 45.

Verdict

A weak end to the card with even the likely market leaders looking to have questions to answer and the race really does lack a solid option. Bond Bombshell is the obvious solution but she’s no banker to build on her Doncaster placing and it may be worth taking a chance on SEE VERMONT over a C&D he’s won before. Our Place In Loule enters the argument but again his form isn’t solid and Olaudah should be watched in the market given his connections and their previous success with their GB raiders.
