80/1

Unreliable individual. One win from 31 Flat runs. 150/1, first run since leaving Mark Usher when last of 14 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 87R64-0

Forecasts

Affair (7/2), Sunshineandbubbles (5/1), Red Archangel (5/1), Cheng Gong (11/2), Lady Of York (13/2), Que Quieres (8/1), Lauberhorn Rocket (8/1), Great Hall (16/1), Dolphin Village (40/1), Threediamondrings (80/1)

A chance is taken on RED ARCHANGEL to get back to winning ways, having never been placed to challenge in a race run at an ordinary pace at Yarmouth 6 weeks ago. Hollie Doyle's only previous ride on her was a winning one and she can make it 2-2 here. C&D winner Affair heads up the dangers, ahead of stable-switcher Cheng Gong.
