Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 58

Form: 307632

Forecasts

Kendergarten Kop (18/5), Saucy Encore (4/1), City Escape (9/2), Casual Reply (9/2), Courtside (10/1), Utopian Lad (12/1), Fair Power (12/1), Makambe (14/1), All Of The Lights (16/1), Derry Boy (22/1), Come On Tier (125/1)

CASUAL REPLY figures on a good mark and caught the eye when fourth at Wolverhampton last time so is taken to open her account here now back up in trip. Both Saucy Encore and City Escape are also still without a win but arrive in excellent form so should ensure James Fanshawe's new recruit doesn't have things all her own way.
