4/1

10/1 and visored for 1st time, very good second of 19 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good) 8 days ago. Well drawn and looks the one to beat.

Form: 626652

Caleco^h³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S Hitchcott| T: B Barr| OR: 45

150/1

Forecasts

Nagasaki Dream (3/1), The Tron (3/1), She's A Deva (4/1), Admirable Lad (11/2), Silk Tie (6/1), Lady Of Desire (10/1), Lasting Beauty (11/1), Nacho (22/1), Caleco (150/1)

SHE'S A DEVA sets a clear standard on the form she showed at Redcar last time in a competitive handicap. A repeat of that effort would see her go very close from a plum draw. Nacho was a little unlucky here a fortnight ago and he could bounce back. Lasting Beauty warrants respect too.
