9/2

Opened her account in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell in December. Ran respectably next 2 outings and probably needed the run after 5 months off when down the field at Chelmsford 2 weeks ago. Needs considering back on turf.

Candy Shack^h1,t⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: D Nolan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 76

9/1

Hasn't stood much racing but again shaped better than the bare result tried tongue tied when seventh of 11 in 14f handicap at Goodwood (good to soft) 62 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Hood on for 1st time. Not dismissed.

Form: 9/42-87

Suited by a test of speed at the trip when off the mark at Thirsk (12f) in June but was undone by a 5 lb rise in the weights in a stronger heat there 16 days ago.

Forecasts

Typical Woman (6/4), Bollin Margaret (4/1), Sweet Fantasy (9/2), Arctic Fox (15/2), Lady Excalibur (8/1), Candy Shack (9/1), Spit Spot (11/1), Ready To Shine (16/1), Page Three (16/1), Spring Glow (25/1), Rikona (28/1)

An open-looking event with the vote going to SWEET FANTASY, a consistent sort, who hasn't had many tries at this trip and seems likely to bounce back to her best with a recent run under her belt. Typical Woman and Candy Shack are a couple of potential threats.
