9/2
Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 8 to Royal Countess over C&D (good to firm) on reappearance 19 days ago. Likely to give a good account.

9/2
Never involved in a very competitive Hamilton handicap 9 days ago but fair fourth over this C&D prior to that and should play a part back in these slightly calmer waters.

Fit from hurdling, 3½ lengths fifth of 8 to Royal Countess (Flying Moon second, Berry Edge third, Graces Quest fourth) in C&D handicap (good to firm) 19 days ago. Should get a bit closer on the revised terms.

Third C&D success of her career when seeing off stablemate Flying Moon and 3 more of today's rivals on her reappearance 19 days ago. Likely to remain very competitive up 4lb.

Good second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 4/1) 14 days ago, just failing. Can make presence felt again.

Forecasts

Havana Party (4/1), Berry Edge (9/2), Graces Quest (9/2), Flying Moon (11/2), Bulls Aye (15/2), Royal Countess (17/2), St Andrew's Castle (12/1), Coconut Bay (12/1), Tafsir (20/1), My Macho Man (22/1)

Verdict

FLYING MOON is taken to turn around recent C&D form with stablemate Royal Countess and land a fourth C&D success of his career. Berry Edge is also closely matched with that pair on C&D form last time and is another unlikely to be too far away.
