33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in minor event at this C&D (40/1) 63 days ago. More is needed on these terms though if he's to gain a maiden victory.

Robert Frost⁷

9/1

Thoroughly unreliable type who came in only eighth of 11 to Company Minx in minor event (66/1) at this C&D 7 days ago. Very hard to enthuse over.

Form: 09R0-78

(6)

Glen Etive⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Jarvis| OR: 44

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1 and hooded for 1st time, first form when fourth of 11 to Company Minx in minor event at this C&D 7 days ago. Headgear removed but he's no forlorn hope.

Forecasts

Admirable Lad (11/4), Company Minx (10/3), Glen Etive (9/2), Louis Treize (8/1), Griggy (9/1), Robert Frost (9/1), Cazeva Princess (12/1), Moveonup (14/1), Ivan Drago (33/1), Mercers (100/1)

COMPANY MINX opened her account for 2022 over C&D a week ago and is weighted to go in again here in a race where plenty arrive on something of a retrieval mission. Recent Yarmouth scorer Admirable Lad rates the chief threat, although course-scorer Moveonup is another who needs considering on these terms if shrugging off a modest latest effort.
