Latest win at Pontefract in July. 10/1, wasted no time getting back to form when second of 11 in handicap at York (11.8f, good) 12 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Forecasts

Sudona (3/1), Matewan (10/3), Ashington (7/2), Kitten's Dream (11/2), Gold Souk (15/2), Golden Sandbanks (10/1), Mukhayyam (16/1)

A short break is possibly just what SUDONA needed as she bounced back to form when runner-up at York earlier this month. She's taken to get back to winning ways at the expense of Ian Williams' Matewan, who shaped as if still in some kind of form at Newmarket 3 weeks ago, while Ashington and Golden Sandbanks can fight out the minor honours.
