Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: W Buick| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 81| BF| CD

7/4

C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at this course (7f, AW) 18 days ago. Big chance if she starts well again.

Velvet And Steel²⁸⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 76

40/1

Maiden. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Ralph Beckett (sold fairly cheaply). This trip will suit on return (best runs over it) and not dismissed.

Forecasts

Isola Rossa (7/4), Wonder Elmossman (15/8), Daphne May (7/2), Diffident Spirit (11/1), The Rain King (16/1), Handel (25/1), Velvet And Steel (40/1)

ISOLA ROSSA would have finished closer with better luck here last time and could resume winning ways if starting well again. Wonder Elmossman scored in good style here last week and is respected under a penalty. Velvet And Steel is worth a look starting out for a new yard.
