5/1

Followed up a victory in a selling handicap over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton in January with a decent 2¾L fourth of five in a conditions race over 1m at Chelmsford subsequently. Interesting despite a disappointing effort at Chelmsford recently.

10/11

Completed a double when victorious in a 1m2f claiming race at this venue at the end of last month. Changed stables since and is an interesting runner dropping in trip off a mark 8lb higher than when winning over 1m2f here on her penultimate start.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 45

33/1

Held in recent starts including when 6L ninth over 6f at Chelmsford earlier this month. Stamina to prove as she seeks a first victory since winning a claiming race over 5f at Beverley (good) in September 2018.

25/1

Struggled in four starts to date most recently when 21L last of 11 over 7f at Catterick (good-to-soft) on handicap debut in August. Others make more appeal on debut for this yard.

Forecasts

Miss Elsa (10/11), Roca Magica (2/1), Ruby Gates (5/1), Crystal Carole (25/1), Islay Mist (33/1)

MISS ELSA is one of two in this contest two have won her last two starts and she can complete a hat-trick on her first start since joining this stable. The selection is making a return to handicap company here and she can get the better of fellow hat-trick seeker Roca Magica who can claim second having won under a penalty at Chelmsford last time. Third place can go to Ruby Gates who can put a disappointing effort last time out behind her.
