12/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor replaces blinkers. Drops in grade. Yet to add to 2-y-o wins and becoming untrustworthy.

16/5

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy, 11/10) 4 days ago, easily. Looks ahead of mark still and obvious chance again under a penalty.

Forecasts

La Voix Magique (3/1), Ugo Gregory (16/5), Grace And Virtue (6/1), Alix James (13/2), Kupa River (9/1), After John (10/1), Tommy G (10/1), Luxor (12/1), Kentuckyconnection (14/1), Jump The Gun (14/1), Gometra Ginty (16/1), Kindly (50/1)

LA VOIX MAGIQUE's best runs for her new yard this year have come over 7f and she looked ready to strike at Thirsk last time. If the cheekpieces have a positive effect she can resume winning ways. Ugo Gregory has an obvious chance in his hat-trick bid, while Kentuckyconnection and Alix James also come into contention.
