4/1

18 race maiden ran well in finishing 3L fifth in a handicap over this C&D a week ago. Races off a 2lb lower mark here and is a notable runner once more.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 54| D

12/1

Failed to figure in two starts since returning from over 15 months off the track. Handicap mark is falling as a result and he is worth a check in the market in this contest.

Forecasts

Newgirlintown (5/2), Red Skye Delight (11/4), Flora Tristan (4/1), Brigand (11/2), Mont Kiara (11/1), The British Lion (12/1), Swiper (25/1), River Cafe (33/1), Runaiocht (33/1), Canimar (50/1), Tintern Spirit (100/1)

RED SKYE DELIGHT has shown decent form in finishing in the frame the last twice and she can break her maiden at the tenth time of asking with a victory in this handicap event. The selection has cheekpieces on for the first time and she can see off her rivals here with Newgirlintown who ran well on her AW debut at Dundalk last time out capable of claiming second place ahead of Flora Tristan who ran well in a similar race to this a week ago.
