16/1

Winner at two but missed the whole of last year. Disappointing in two starts since returning including in first time cheekpieces (absent here) last time. Stepping up in distance.

Impressive 5L winner over C&D on good-to-firm going last month. Raised 10lb for that success and interesting to see how she fares.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J J Bridger| OR: 51| CD

Flying Sakhee¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 48| CD

Forecasts

Dear Bruin (15/8), Flying Sakhee (7/2), Arctic Flower (9/2), Red Gunner (6/1), Violet's Lads (8/1), Passing Star (9/1), Assassinate (16/1)

VIOLET'S LADS can record her first victory following a promising fifth here last time out. The selection was returning from a break on that occasion and can get the better of last time out winner Dear Bruin who is taken to claim second ahead of Flying Sakhee who has won over C&D already this term.
