15/8

Promising sort. 11/10, won 9-runner novice event at Chelmsford City (7f). Off 10 months but reappears with excellent yard in flying form and mark could be lenient.

Light Lily¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 72| D

28/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. 20/1, good second of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. 2 lb out of the weights in a deeper race.

Form: 213U02

Forecasts

Manaafith (15/8), Crystal Casque (2/1), Wilderness Girl (15/2), Lila Girl (15/2), Flame of Freedom (10/1), Mishal Star (14/1), Clitheroe (16/1), Light Lily (28/1), Flash Betty (50/1)

The interesting one here is MANAAFITH, who has been off the track since looking a useful prospect in November. Her mark is an appealing one on that win and her yard couldn't be in better form at present. Crystal Casque is effectively up 2 lb for her easy Salisbury win (unpenalised but just out of the weights) and is the main threat, with Lila Girl also of interest.
