22/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Carries penalty.

Won 12-runner handicap at this C&D (heavy, 7/2), keeping on well. Off 10 months and record fresh suggests she may just need this.

Forecasts

Grace And Virtue (2/1), Dandy's Angel (11/4), Reely Bonnie (7/2), Yukon Mission (11/2), Upstaging (8/1), Written Broadcast (17/2), Shortbackandsides (12/1), Sea Storm (12/1), Jack Ryan (20/1), Grandads Best Girl (25/1), Forever A Lady (33/1)

Verdict

Having attracted support, YUKON MISSION was denied a run on more than one occasion at Pontefract 12 days ago and can arguably be considered an unlucky loser. Racing from the same mark, compensation may well be forthcoming, though this is a pretty good race for the grade, with Dandy's Angel and Reely Bonnie feared as last-time-out winners on the up.

  1. YUKON MISSION (IRE)
  2. DANDY'S ANGEL (IRE)
  3. REELY BONNIE
