13/8
15/2, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers may sharpen her up and this is a slight drop in class.

11/2
Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft, 14/1) 12 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Star of Aria, keeping on well. Carries penalty but likely to give it a good shot.

Forecasts

Close Quarters (13/8), Enderman (10/3), Shark Two One (7/2), Star Of Aria (7/2), Dandy Spirit (11/2), Fantasy Navigator (10/1), Somewhere Secret (20/1)

Verdict

STAR OF ARIA was a pretty big eye-catcher when runner-up under a hands-and-heels ride and he's fancied to reverse the placings with Dandy Spirit on 5 lb better terms. Close Quarters looks best of the rest.
