3/1

Completed the 5-timer in determined fashion when beating 14-rivals over C&D in April. Off 7 weeks, only third of 5 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, firm) 51 days ago. Suspect she can get back on the up.

8/1

Made a successful reappearance in a 15-runner novice at Redcar (6f, good to soft) 26 days ago, keeping on well. Didn't look at home on the track when below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (6f, good, 6/5f) 59 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 23-15

Fourteen runs since last win (over C&D) in 2022. Good third of 13 in handicap (gambled-on 10/3) at Pontefract (6f, good) 7 days ago, not seen to best effect, repeatedly short of room. Leading claims.

Forecasts

Run This Way (9/4), Isle Of Dreams (3/1), Woobay (9/2), Happier (9/2), Starproof (6/1), Destined (8/1), Jill Rose (10/1), Saleet (40/1)

ISLE OF DREAMS is fancied to get back on the up returned to the scene of her last victory. Run This Way was well backed and would have finished closer with better luck at Pontefract last week and could come good again. Happier just failed at Hamilton and has a big shout back against her own sex in first-time headgear.
