Suzi's Connoisseur¹⁵

Age: 12| Weight: 8-13| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 50| C| D

20/1

Course winner. Twenty-nine runs since last win in 2019. 14/1, better for run after 13 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark.

Form: 93635/4

Forecasts

Come On Girl (2/1), Dulcet Spirit (5/1), Evasive Power (11/2), Healing Power (13/2), Winnetka (7/1), Luna Queen (17/2), Brilliant Blue (11/1), Suzi's Connoisseur (20/1)

COME ON GIRL wasn't seen to best effect when fourth over 6f here last time, making late headway having not been ideally placed, so she is taken to return to winning ways back down in grade. The 6-y-o can record a fifth course success, while Luna Queen gained her sole victory here and is feared most with a visor now applied. Winnetka completes the shortlist.
