15/2

Winner at Wolverhampton in March. 16/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 35 days ago. Can give another good account for all stall 14 could be an issue.

13/8

C&D winner. Winner here in April. 4/1, seventh of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 12 days ago, not knocked about having stumbled. That run easy to ignore so she's expected to be bang there.

Forecasts

Vasilissa (13/8), Gwendolina (11/2), Fayasel (15/2), Freetodream (15/2), King Kraken (8/1), More Than A Grey (12/1), Twilight Dancer (12/1), No News (14/1), Captain Wentworth (16/1), Regal Glory (16/1), Nibras Rainbow (28/1), Havechatma (40/1), Musterion (66/1), Earthy Mangold (66/1)

This has an open feel to it but VASILISSA had an obvious excuse at Doncaster 12 days ago and, now back at the scene of her sole success, she looks to have a few things in her favour from a handy stall. Fayasel hasn't fared as well in the draw department so Gwendolina is feared most.
