6/1
Fairly useful on Flat for Amanda Perrett. Improved effort over hurdles when striking on 2m Southwell handicap debut last month. Only up 4 lb and Flat ability provides scope for better again.

Fairly useful on Flat for Jim Bolger. Best run over hurdles for this yard when fourth of 7 on 2m Stratford reappearance 11 days ago. May build on that.

Successful on AW Flat in June and has continued in good form back over hurdles, second at Southwell before going one better at Newton Abbot. Likely to go well again.

11/1
Definite signs of promise in mares' maiden/novice events in spring 2019. Disappointed in handicaps subsequently but mark has come down as a result and perhaps a wind op will spark a revival.

Modest Flat winner. Little to show from her 6 outings over hurdles and she's been no better than midfield in Flat handicaps this summer. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Lilypad (4/1), Operatic Export (5/1), Lightening Dance (6/1), Perfect Myth (7/1), Cotton End (7/1), Lady Cylla (15/2), The Crafty Touch (11/1), Bossiney Bay (14/1), I'lletyougonow (16/1), Homing Star (18/1), Cuban Sun (28/1), Definite Winner (50/1)

Verdict

The Jonjo O'Neill yard is going well so a chance is taken on THE CRAFTY TOUCH who was out of sorts when last seen in the autumn but has had a breathing operation since and is well treated on her maiden/novice form at the start of her career. Lightening Dance has the potential to build on her Southwell handicap debut success and rates a threat along with Newton Abbot scorer Lilypad.
