Justified support in impressive fashion in first-time cheekpieces in 10-runner maiden at Southwell (20.4f, good) in April, making most. Didn't need to improve to follow up at Hexham and this looks an excellent opportunity to complete the hat-trick.

Runner-up on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and showed a bit sent hurdling when third in 7-runner maiden at Worcester (20f, good) 20 days ago, plugging on having been outpaced home turn. Return to shorter not sure to be in her favour but still needs considering in a weak affair.

Forecasts

Gentle Connections (2/13), Hey Frankie (6/1), Haloa Mail (18/1), Regal 'n Bold (150/1)

Verdict

A weak novice so GENTLE CONNECTIONS is a straightforward choice to complete the hat-trick, especially as her main market rival Hey Frankie isn't sure to be suited by this return to shorter.

  1. Gentle Connections2/13
  2. Hey Frankie6/1
  3. Haloa Mail18/1
