9/2

Latest win at Bath in April. Seventh of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago. Definite chance in this contest if he puts his best foot forward.

10/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 35 days ago. Down 2 lb in this lower-grade affair and he's certainly not discounted.

15/8

Two wins from 5 runs this year. Won 4-runner handicap (5/2) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm) 13 days ago, digging deep. Nudged up 1 lb and should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

6/5

C&D winner. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (good, 9/4) when last seen in October. Will surely go very close on debut for new yard if fully tuned-up.

Forecasts

Wisper (6/5), Victory Star (15/8), Headshot (9/2), Starfighter (10/1)

Assuming she's ready to roll following a seven-month absence, WISPER will have strong prospects of making a winning debut for new connections. She was just touched off over this C&D on her final start of last season and remains on a feasible mark. The hat-trick seeking Victory Star is an obvious danger but, in truth, there's little to choose between each member of the quartet, with Headshot and Starfighter also more than capable of going close.
