5/2

Lightly-raced winner. 20/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, responding well. Remains unexposed and she looks a live player with a repeat here.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Mikey Sheehy⁽³⁾| T: P Martin| OR: 52| CD

9/1

Confirmed more positive signs from sliding mark when landing 13-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, forced to switch and getting on top close home. One of the likelier types from 3 lb higher mark.

The Bog Bank^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rory Cleary| T: T G McCourt| OR: 45

14/1

Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Not disgraced when 2½ lengths sixth of 13 to Indiana Grey in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 21 days ago. Still, others make more appeal.

28/1

Forecasts

Wychwood Whisper (5/2), Blankiedoodie (4/1), Mulgrave (5/1), Ellabella (11/2), Take My Hand (13/2), Reverberation (15/2), Indiana Grey (9/1), The Bog Bank (14/1), Scalor (14/1), Akua (20/1), No Browsin (22/1), Shazza (25/1), Herodotus (25/1), Moon Orchid (28/1), Misty At Sea (33/1), Adakaz (66/1), Royal Hideaway (80/1)

A competitive handicap with the narrow vote in favour of INDIANA GREY. She confirmed the promise of her previous run when landing a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and a 3 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Fellow C&D winner Wychwood Whisper is far less exposed than most and a big danger, ahead of Blankiedoodie.
