16/1

Unreliable sort. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. 20/1, very good fourth of 10 in handicap at Chepstow 23 days ago, keeping on well. Well treated but she's a tricky customer.

Redredrobin³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: F Norton| T: M S Saunders| OR: 47

6/1

Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good, 16/1) 30 days ago. Down in trip. Modest maiden who doesn't make much appeal.

Form: 9-05850

Forecasts

Glamorous Force (7/2), Pastfact (7/2), Atyaaf (9/2), Redredrobin (6/1), Wiff Waff (8/1), Our Man In Havana (17/2), Essaka (14/1), Alba Del Sole (16/1), Tarseekh (28/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (33/1)

GLAMOROUS FORCE is dropping in grade and, with a strong pace on the cards, could have the race teed up, so he gets the nod ahead of four-time C&D winner Pastfact, who ran with credit at Chepstow last time. Tarseekh also merits consideration.
