10/1

11/4, fourth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy) 15 days ago, never nearer. Needs a good pace to aim at kept to 5f and he may get that here.

9/4

5/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Haydock (5f, firm) 19 days ago, slowly away. Eased 1 lb but dominating this field won't be easy.

125/1

First run since leaving Richard Spencer when fourteenth of 15 in handicap (80/1) at York (5f, good) 17 days ago. This will reveal more.

20/1

Winning debut at Pontefract on sole 2-y-o start. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 25/1) 19 days ago and attitude looks to be holding her back.

66/1

Last of 11 in handicap at Haydock (5f, firm, 40/1) 19 days ago. That was disappointing given the promise of her reappearance though this is an easier race.

8/1

Forecasts

So Smart (9/4), Sugar Baby (4/1), Lotus Rose (8/1), Dream Deal (8/1), Birkenhead (17/2), Mrs Bagerran (10/1), John Kirkup (10/1), Hot Scoop (14/1), Esken Rose (20/1), Thrilla In Manila (28/1), Boudica Bay (28/1), Red Warning (50/1), Tilia Cordata (66/1), Fylingdale (66/1), Billy Dylan (100/1), Unfinishedsympathy (125/1)

SUGAR BABY didn't do a lot wrong in his hat-trick attempt at Beverley 3 weeks ago and the fact he is thriving at present counts for a lot at this level. A well-run 5f is required for John Kirkup to feature and he may well get that here, with Thrilla In Manilla one to monitor in the betting on return from nearly a year off.
