6/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021, and only seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 22/1) 10 days ago. Visor on for 1st time and she needs a couple of these to falter.

(8)

Breckland¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 56| D

Forecasts

Sweet Bertie (7/2), Global Vision (5/1), Critical Thinking (11/2), Inexplicable (6/1), Red Evelyn (6/1), Sparkle In His Eye (11/1), Luxy Lou (11/1), Alicestar (12/1), Breckland (14/1), The Nail Gunner (25/1), Light Of Thunder (50/1), Inner Circle (125/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. SWEET BERTIE can boast a course win and signalled he's ready to go in again when runner-up at Lingfield so gets the nod off the same mark here. Alicestar arrives on a long losing run but is weighted to go well and is feared most, although both Inexplicable and Global Vision figure high on the shortlist too.
