Ciaoadiosimdone²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J Ryan| OR: 77

10/1

Won a Wolverhampton maiden (1m½f, AW) in November, on her fourth start. Every chance 2f out but faded to be beaten 12L on reappearance over C&D (good to firm) last month. Drops 5lb here and not ruled out with that run under her belt.

Form: 7561-7

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: M Appleby| OR: 75| BF| D

15/8

Ended a 14-race losing run since her debut win when scoring at Chelmsford in November from 6lb lower. Backed that up after a break with a 1½L defeat at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) last time. Should be competitive.

Form: 24241-2

Sula Island¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: William Carson| T: A King| OR: 64

7/2

Was not far away from winning a Lingfield maiden (1m3½f, Polytrack) in September but has otherwise failed to threaten, including in handicaps on her last two runs. Beaten 8½L last time from 1lb higher and others make more appeal.

Form: 6205-83

Iconic Belle¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 61

9/2

0-17 so far and gradually sliding in the weights. Could be given a chance from this mark based on her best efforts, so not ruled out, though likelihood is that she will be chasing something home.

Stosur^b¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 8-6| J: S De Sousa| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 60

10/3

Was beaten just ½L from a mark of 72 at Chelmsford in September but has not really threatened despite slipping in the weights since. Well held again last time. This faster ground is more to her liking, though her best efforts have been over shorter.

Forecasts

Rayaa (15/8), Luna Magic (3/1), Stosur (10/3), Sula Island (7/2), Iconic Belle (9/2), Ciaoadiosimdone (10/1)

All six runners have doubts to overcome in this and the suggestion is top weight CIAOADIOSIMDONE, who should hopefully come on for her reappearance run and looks to be on a feasible mark now 5lb lower. Rayaa should remain competitive, with Luna Magic and Iconic Belle not ruled out.
