After 3 months off (had wind op) and with cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft, 18/1) 35 days ago. Needs to get back on track returned to all-weather/longer trip.

8/1

Ran much better than on reappearance when sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (12.2f, 12/1) 13 days ago, though better placed than most. Needs more to be able to take advantage of her falling mark.

100/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Struggling for form of late (including over hurdles), never a threat when seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (9.5f, 28/1) 27 days ago.

Forecasts

Mr Rumbalicious (8/13), All About Alice (3/1), Jenny Ren (9/2), Locksmith (6/1), Steel Helmet (15/2), Victoriano (15/2), La Belle Vie (8/1), Adaayinourlife (50/1), Vaxholm (100/1)

JENNY REN has had all 5 of her starts in 2023 at this course and has been holding her form well, successful in March before faring best of those held up when fourth on her latest outing. She is taken to see off the challenge of Mr Rumbalicious, who isn't taken lightly in his hat-trick bid, while All About Alice can also give another good account.
