11/4

3 wins from 6 runs this year. 9/2, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Raised 4 lb for that success but looks to have strong claims once again.

3/1

11/4, good 1¼ lengths second of 5 to Aish in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago. Looks to be working her way back into some form and she has to be considered.

9/4

Dual C&D winner this term including career best when landing 5-runner handicap 14 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Minhaaj. Raised another 4 lb but should go close in bid to follow up.

17/2

15/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, soft) 15 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Aish (9/4), Buy Me Back (11/4), Minhaaj (3/1), Boom The Groom (11/2), Hemmsa (17/2), Street Parade (14/1)

AISH is unbeaten over C&D after two handicap wins this year. She has to defy another 4 lb rise here but she's still got potential to improve further and may prove too good for mostly older rivals. They look to be headed by Buy Me Back who posted a career best at Windsor last month. Minhaaj took a step in the right direction last time and she has to be respected.
