Off 6 months and had a wind op before posting a respectable 3 lengths fourth of 9 to Blackjack in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Not discounted in her bid for a maiden success.

Forecasts

Em Jay Kay (5/2), Dark Side Thunder (3/1), Blackjack (3/1), Airshow (10/3), Mega Marvel (11/2), Noteable (9/1), Claim The Stars (12/1), Churchill Bay (20/1), Woodlands Charm (66/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for all of these but AIRSHOW still looks handily weighted despite taking a 3 lb rise for his recent course win so gets the nod. Churchill Bay has quickly got back on track since joining Ronald Thompson and is feared most ahead of C&D winners Dark Side Thunder, Blackjack and Em Jay Kay.

  1. Airshow10/3

  3. Dark Side Thunder3/1
