11/1

In the frame on her last 5 starts and every chance she'll be in the shake-up again if the widest stall isn't too much of an inconvenience.

Forecasts

Il Bandito (3/1), Brains (7/2), Barshaa (9/2), Mumtaaz (13/2), Last Sunset (17/2), Flatley (9/1), Bhubezi (10/1), Hundred Isles (10/1), Zwelela (11/1), Keeper's Choice (12/1), Mykonos St John (14/1), Dawndiva (28/1), De Vegas Kid (40/1), Sir Plato (50/1)

HUNDRED ISLES is a solid horse at this Class 4 level and might be capable of landing a third success of the year. Last-time-out Kempton novice winner Barshaa has the potential for better again now moving into handicap company for the first time and heads the dangers along with the consistent Il Bandito and in-form Brains.
