Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good, 15/8) 13 days ago, slowly away. Visor back on and merits respect in her hat-trick bid.

C&D winner. Latest win at Redcar in May. 9/1, last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, firm) 35 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights for now. Yard also saddles Nelson Gay and Havagomecca.

11/2, didn't need to improve to win 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f) 42 days ago by head from Dandy Dinmont. Remains on a feasible mark up 2 lb but strike rate on turf (1-21) is modest.

Latest win at Musselburgh in May. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap at York (5f, good, 33/1) 28 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark and would be a threat if she were to stage a return to form.

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Visored for 1st time, good second of 9 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (heavy) 6 days ago, just failing. Big player off the same mark.

Forecasts

Le Beau Garcon (3/1), Sugar Baby (10/3), Blind Beggar (17/2), Nelson Gay (11/1), May Blossom (11/1), Dandy Dinmont (12/1), Khabib (12/1), Riversway (12/1), Secret Road (12/1), Saaheq (16/1), Majeski Man (18/1), Havagomecca (25/1), Sparkling Red (25/1), Glory Fighter (28/1), Lezardrieux (50/1), Object (66/1)

Verdict

It's been a while since LE BEAU GARCON last got his head in front but he failed by a whisker over this C&D in a first-time visor (retained) recently and, turned out again quickly before his new mark kicks in (due to go up 3 lb), he gets the nod. There are several likely dangers, headed by Blind Beggar and Irish-import Secret Road, while the hat-trick seeking May Blossom, Saaheq and Sugar Baby are others that could take a hand in the finish.
