Vindobala^t⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: S England| OR: 69| CD

6/4

3-time C&D winner who posted a career best on the back of a wind op when bagging 6-runner handicap at this C&D (4/1) 8 days ago. Took this event 12 months ago too so she's a big player for her new yard under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 06210-1

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (4/1) at Kempton (7f) 23 days ago, driven out. Expected to be bang there despite a 3 lb rise.

Forecasts

Vindobala (6/4), Bond Boy (10/3), Satin Snake (5/1), Barney's Bay (6/1), Anif (15/2), Drakeholes (16/1), Run This Way (40/1)

VINDOBALA showed the benefit of breathing surgery when scoring over C&D last week so is taken to repeat her victory in this event 12 months ago and make it 2-3 for her new yard. Satin Snake rates a big danger though on the back of his Kempton success while Anif is always to be much respected here too.
