18/1

C&D winner. Visored for 1st time, below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 10/11) 17 days ago. Beaten as favourite on her last 4 outings so hopes pinned on the returning cheekpieces.

3/1

8/13, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D (AW) 18 days ago. One of the least exposed, he looks sure to go well again nudged up just 3 lb.

Forecasts

Deputise (3/1), Pablo Del Pueblo (3/1), Patsy Fagan (9/2), Alablaq (7/1), Soyounique (17/2), Igotatext (12/1), Cherish (12/1), Swiss Pride (14/1), Come On Girl (18/1), Clashaniska (25/1), Abduction (33/1), Hey Ho Let's Go (33/1)

PABLO DEL PUEBLO doubled his tally over this C&D 18 days ago and Simon Dow's charge gets the verdict to go in again provided stall 10 doesn't hinder him getting a prominent early position. Patsy Fagan is proving a likeable and reliable performer so he's fancied to be in the mix after his recent Southwell success, along with Alablaq and Cherish.
