4/1

Landed back-to-back veterans' handicaps at Lingfield and Warwick in December. Posted another good effort when third at Leicester (20.1f, soft) a fortnight ago so she rates a player down in class.

Ended last season in excellent form, gaining third success at Haydock (21.6f) in April. Not quite reached that level this season but better signs when third over C&D just under 6 weeks ago. Down 3 lb.

Winless since landing 3-runner mares' handicap chase at Fakenham (21.2f) 16 months ago but generally holding her form well in both spheres this season. Tongue strap quickly discarded.

Forecasts

Molly Carew (8/11), Jubilympics (9/4), Grand Turina (4/1), Get The Appeal (5/1), Found On (8/1)

Tough to split these but the vote goes to previous C&D winner MOLLY CAREW, who has tumbled in the weights since returning to action at Ffos Las in November but with a fully-fledged rider back in the plate, she can open her account for the season. Grand Turina can give the selection most to think about down in class, ahead of the consistent Jubilympics.
