11/2

Rainbow Mirage²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: M G Rimell| OR: 57| BF| CD

3/1

C&D winner in March. 11/4, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 21 days ago, left with too much to do, so she's firmly in the picture off an unchanged mark.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: D C Costello| T: H J Evans| OR: 56

9/2

9/2, decent fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Back down in trip and not taken lightly.

Age: 7| Weight: 8-9| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: J Bennett| OR: 48

Form: 27-0435

Pollinate¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁵⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 45

10/1

Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, AW, 11/1) 18 days ago. Worth considering in her bid for a breakthrough success.

Form: 98-4824

Forecasts

Rainbow Mirage (3/1), Masqool (9/2), Coolagh Magic (11/2), Million Reasons (13/2), Maahi Ve (9/1), Clashaniska (9/1), Pollinate (10/1), Gonzaga (11/1), Amathus (20/1), Ahorsecalledwanda (100/1)

COOLAGH MAGIC got back to winning ways here when last seen out in January and is fancied to follow up given he goes well fresh and should also be suited by this return to 7f. C&D scorer Rainbow Mirage wasn't seen to best effect when fourth here last time and is rated next best, with Masqool another to factor in after his decent Chelmsford City fifth.
