10/1

C&D winner in April. Only ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 33 days ago, so others are more persuasive.

18/1

Forecasts

Jack Berry House (3/1), Shimla Rolann (5/1), Dreams Delivered (5/1), Hightown Heights (6/1), Here's Hoping (13/2), Miss Cunning (15/2), Caesar's Comet (9/1), Maccliff (10/1), Leviosa (10/1), Philly's Hope (14/1), What Adaay (18/1), Gormanston (20/1), Never Back Down (22/1), Hasanaat (33/1), Sentiment (40/1), Kinch (50/1), Nakao (300/1)

Plenty in with a shout here. SHIMLA ROLANN arrives on the up and remains unexposed at this 1m trip too so is fancied to make it three wins from her last four starts. In-form course victor Caesar's Comet is next on the list with C&D scorer Jack Berry House another who warrants plenty of respect in a very open handicap.
