11/4

Won a point bumper and found the test inadequate when a close fifth of 7 at Stratford for Mrs Teresa Clark in June. Transferred to a powerful yard and took a step forward fitted with a tongue strap when runner-up at Worcester (16f, good) 12 days ago. Can go one better here.

Form: 5/1-52

4/9

Forecasts

Shakiyra (4/9), Fountainspinklady (11/4), Dontmesswithme (11/1), Honey Crisp (22/1), Princess Unique (28/1)

FOUNTAINSPINKLADY took a step forward from her debut when runner-up at Worcester 12 days ago and with further improvement anticipated, Anthony Honeyball's 5-y-o is taken to make it third time lucky at the expense of newcomer Shakiyra, who represents a top yard and would need to be no superstar to get involved first time up. Honey Crisp can fill out third spot.
