16/1

Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, 9/1) 19 days ago, not ideally placed. Shaped as though she can win off this mark and the step up in trip should suit. Interesting contender.

GLINT OF AN EYE shaped well over 7f here last month and looked as though she was building up to something having not been ideally placed. Stepping back up in trip, she is worth chancing given her lightly-raced profile. Ten Chants won well here last week and has to be taken seriously under his penalty. Carey Street is one of several others with each-way claims.
