Eleven runs since last win in 2018. First run since leaving J. F. Levins when respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 28 days ago so not totally discounted.

80/1, one of her better races when fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, never nearer. Others appeal more, however.

Forecasts

Sideshow Bob (2/1), Porterinthejungle (5/2), Ranger Bob (4/1), Sister Lola (6/1), Togoville (10/1), Dark Design (11/1), Fascinating Spirit (14/1), Burning Lake (14/1), Motbeq (14/1), Caesar's Comet (16/1), Miss Sassyboots (16/1), Minky (18/1), Maccliff (20/1), Hands Down (25/1), Eye Of The Dragon (40/1), Tommy The Hat (50/1), Shatharaat (66/1)

Verdict

SIDESHOW BOB looks weighted to go very close and remains with few miles on the clock so gets the nod in an open handicap. Ranger Bob is feared most on the back of his good recent C&D second and C&D winner Caesar's Comet is also worth a second look despite saddling top weight.

  1. SIDESHOW BOB (IRE)
  2. RANGER BOB (IRE)
  3. CAESAR'S COMET (IRE)
