2/9

Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (24.2f, good) 14 days ago, doing too much too soon. Significantly back down in trip.

Form: 5P-0890

Courting Vickie²²

Forecasts

Dreal Deal (2/9), Charlie Siringo (12/1), Courting Vickie (14/1), R'evelyn Pleasure (14/1), Callthebarman (14/1), Ellipsism (18/1), Time To Bite (28/1), Young Dev (28/1), Sullane Hill (40/1), Cappacurry Zak (66/1)

It's very hard to get away from DREAL DEAL who hacked up at Punchestown earlier in the week and can extend his winning spree this autumn to five. Courting Vickie has made a solid start to her handicap career and could be the one to follow the selection home ahead of Ellipsism.
