One win from 32 Flat runs. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021 but has made frame 6 times this year. Unstuck by raise in class when thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good) 14 days ago. Could make more impact back in this grade.

Forecasts

Alwajd (11/8), Lethal Touch (5/1), Distinction (7/1), He's So Brazen (7/1), Busselton (12/1), Quoteline Direct (14/1), Miss Sligo (14/1), Destinado (18/1), Defilade (22/1), Itsallaboutluck (25/1), Cornish Storm (33/1), Delightfilly (40/1), Ivy Rosie (150/1)

ALWAJD produced a career best when winning at Chelmsford and looks to be have been let off leniently with only a 3 lb rise. Lethal Touch followed her home last time and can pose the biggest threat again, with Miss Sligo also capable of bouncing back to form quickly.
