Bird For Life^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Isobel Francis⁽⁷⁾| T: M D I Usher| OR: 52| CD

11/2

Unreliable but she is a C&D winner and she should have won at Wolverhampton last time, just failing to get there after starting slowly and meeting trouble. 3 lb out of weights but still a big player if in same form.

Form: 9-72782

(7)

Forecasts

Go Fox (2/1), Reeceltic (5/2), Vin Rouge (5/1), Bird For Life (11/2), Homer's Girl (8/1), Gavlar (33/1), Harmonious (33/1), Colonial Love (33/1)

REECELTIC's latest Chelmsford second shows he's still in good form so he gets the nod back at the scene of his win in March. Bird of Life isn't one for maximum faith but she'll go close if in the same form as at Wolverhampton last time. Go Fox should also figure for his new stable on the back of his recent Catterick claiming success.
