Mare that hasn't lived up to her name with defeats in all six bumper starts. Notable jockey booking, but hard to see what first-time cheekpieces will bring.

Turnabout¹⁷

4/6

Form: 47

Forecasts

Turnabout (4/6), Live Twice (7/1), King Jeremy (8/1), All India (9/1), Gameasapebble (14/1), Nuff Sed (14/1), Dubai Key (14/1), Oknotok (20/1), Mr Natural (28/1), Comeragh Vale (50/1), Bobeska (66/1)

The early pace of Live Twice and Gameasapebble may have a few of these in trouble here in the early stages, in a tricky contest. The aforementioned, Live Twice, not disgraced last time out and All India can make a good fist of proceedings, but preference is for TURNABOUT, beaten just over 6L, not disgraced on two career starts and can use experience here.
