6/1

2 wins from 4 runs this year. 2/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 3 lb rise.

10/1

Below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 5/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Ascraeus^v¹¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-4| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 46| CD

25/1

Probably needed the run after 4 months off when sixth of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (10f, 40/1), racing closer to pace than ideal. Visor back on but no easy task in bid to land a hat-trick in this event from 5 lb out of the handicap.

Form: 74900-6

Forecasts

Lordsbridge Girl (6/4), D Day Odette (11/4), New Heights (4/1), Confils (6/1), Alyara (10/1), Ascraeus (25/1)

LORDSBRIDGE GIRL is enjoying a good year and can bag a third success now stepped up in trip after finding 7f on the sharp side when third at Yarmouth last time out. Confils is feared most on the back of her recent Brighton win, with D Day Odette another who can have a say in an open handicap.
