17/2

17/2, last of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 62 days ago, missing break. Shaped encouragingly on penultimate outing, so not a forlorn hope if she breaks efficiently.

Forecasts

Sir Hector (5/2), Sir Rodneyredblood (4/1), Aces (7/1), Silent Witness (8/1), Excellent George (17/2), Chocco Star (17/2), Suzi's Connoisseur (9/1), Three Card Trick (16/1), Littlemissattitude (40/1), Kenyx (40/1), Egrecio (66/1)

SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD scored on his last visit to this track and shaped as if still in good form over 7f at Southwell last time, so he's a confident selection back under ideal conditions from an excellent draw. In-form pair Excellent George and Sir Hector head the dangers.
