18/1

In good form until only seventh of 9 in 5f handicap at Goodwood on heavy ground 16 days ago. Still low mileage so she's not discounted.

Catheadans Fury^t³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: M R Bosley| OR: 60| CD

10/1

12/1

Course winner who got back on track when second of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (5f) 3 days ago. Can race off same mark here so he must enter calculations.

Forecasts

Gilt Edge (9/2), Indian Pursuit (5/1), Onebaba (5/1), Able Kane (15/2), Soldier's Son (8/1), Catheadans Fury (10/1), Alba Del Sole (10/1), Storm Melody (12/1), Essaka (12/1), Equipped (18/1), Griggy (20/1), Knockabout Queen (20/1)

Lots with chances but the nod is given to Robyn Brisland's ALBA DEL SOLE who can boast a C&D win and would have gone very close to adding a second success here had she got away on level terms last time. Tony Carroll saddles three and his Onebaba appeals as the pick with lightly-raced Equipped another well worth a second look in an open sprint.
