Casavola¹⁶

20/1

Modest form all three runs, never-dangerous fourth of 8 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f, 33/1) 16 days ago. Sort to step forward now handicapping so worth considering and market can guide.

Forecasts

Violet's Lads (5/2), Emerald Fox (7/2), Rivas Rob Roy (9/2), Four Mile Bridge (11/2), The British Lion (8/1), Good Luck Charm (17/2), Valletta Sunset (20/1), The Bull (20/1), Casavola (20/1), Krishmaya (20/1), Mirakuhl (25/1), Moment Of Peace (66/1)

VIOLET'S LADS has slipped to a good mark and signalled she's ready to go in again when an eye-catching sixth here last time so gets the vote. Emerald Fox remains winless but is knocking on the door so rates the chief threat, although a market move for handicap-debutante Casavola would put her firmly in the mix too.
