Unreliable type who ran one of her better races when fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 11 days ago. Others appeal more though.

9/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time when creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 4/1) 11 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip and not taken lightly with headgear retained.

Forecasts

My Law (7/2), Casaruan (4/1), Steal The Scene (9/2), Mayson Mount (9/2), Blue Whisper (6/1), Ten Chants (12/1), Universal Effect (12/1), Chiarodiluna (16/1), Naval Officer (20/1), Saline Bay (40/1), Foylesideview (100/1)

MY LAW is thriving for her new yard and had a bit up her sleeve when scoring at Kempton last time so is fancied to make light of a 5 lb rise in the weights. Mayson Mount benefited from the cheekpieces going on when third here recently so this low-mileage 3-y-o is feared most, although C&D winner Steal The Scene can make his presence felt too.
