Fair at best on Flat and has run to a similar level when twice runner-up over hurdles at Perth in recent months. Has a reduced mark to work with back on the Flat and could go well. Fitted with a tongue strap for the first time.

18/5

Millie The Minx^b²²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 47| CD

28/1

C&D winner but hard to get too excited by her recent efforts on the Flat or over hurdles. Given a chance by the handicapper as a result but others are still preferred.

Forecasts

Clan Jock (11/4), Haven Lady (7/2), Lochnaver (18/5), Ralphy Boy Two (9/2), Simple Star (5/1), Lucky Draw (8/1), Starlyte (12/1), Proton (14/1), Cuban Cigar (14/1), Millie The Minx (28/1)

CLAN JOCK has enjoyed an excellent spell since rejoining Jim Goldie and looks good for another win here. Simple Star didn't pull up any trees on the Flat at the start of the summer but his handicap mark has come down as a result and a couple of recent runner-up efforts over hurdles suggest he's back in better form. The selection's stablemate Lochnaver may prove best of the rest.
