10/3

Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 21 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Entitled to come on for that and drops in grade here.

Built on his first run for this yard to come out on top in 9-runner handicap (11/8) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 27 days ago, always holding on. Should go well again.

8/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark on handicap debut at Lingfield (12f, AW) 8 days ago, though seen to maximum effect under a good ride. Remains to be seen if she's able to back that up.

Fascinating Lips (9/4), Ravens Ark (10/3), Be Fair (13/2), Gold Souk (15/2), Alchemystique (8/1), Settle Petal (17/2), Ivaquestion (14/1), Temur Khan (25/1), Cry Wolf (28/1), Raihaan (28/1)

RAVENS ARK ran respectably in a race not run to suit on his reappearance at Lingfield 3 weeks ago, so he makes quite a bit of appeal now dropping back into a 0-70 with that outing under his belt. Fascinating Lips has made a solid start for his new yard and has to be feared most.
