85/40

9/2, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 20 days ago, keeping on well. Hard to grumble with a 4 lb rise and she's a major player.

Forecasts

Wisper (10/11), Good Regal (85/40), Fascinating Lips (11/4), Confils (6/1), Rhubarb Bikini (9/1)

WISPER's C&D form figures read 121 and she makes plenty of appeal on the back of an eye-catching effort at Bath where she surely would've been involved in the finish but for missing the break. Fascinating Lips will be a big threat if able to back up his solid reappearance effort in an amateur riders' event at Newbury, while the in-form Good Regal is also likely to play a leading role.
