18/1

Rainbird^t¹⁴

8/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fifth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 25/1) 14 days ago. This further step up in trip is likely to help unlock improvement and she merits respect.

Form: 0445

Hi There Silver⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: M Madgwick| OR: 45

125/1

One win from 31 Flat runs. 66/1, good third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 49 days ago. However, he looks up against it from 6 lb out of the weights.

Form: 7-45403

Forecasts

Hasty Sailor (10/11), Licit (4/1), Ivaquestion (6/1), Rainbird (8/1), Tawtheef (18/1), Bruyere (18/1), Pledge Of Peace (28/1), Rafiot (33/1), Lep (50/1), Bravo Faisal (66/1), Hi There Silver (125/1)

HASTY SAILOR stepped up on his debut effort when fourth in a C&D maiden in August and, with the promise of better to come now pitched into a handicap, he looks the one to be on. Licit, Tawtheef and Ivaquestion all make some each-way appeal, but Rainbird should improve for this step up in trip and she is feared most.
