12/1
C&D winner. 11/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) 21 days ago, digging deep. That attitude will continue to hold her in good stead.

Forecasts

Optiva Star (10/3), Media Guest (9/2), Ravenglass (6/1), Batchelor Boy (13/2), Marsh Benham (8/1), Storymaker (17/2), Dion Baker (9/1), Darvel (10/1), Spanish Mane (12/1)

Verdict

George Margarson and Mikkel Mortensen combined to good effect recently and MEDIA GUEST looks the one to be with having confirmed he's back in excellent order from his reduced mark at Leicester last time. Optiva Star and Batchelor Bay are a couple of potential threats.

  1. Media Guest9/2
  2. Optiva Star10/3
  3. Batchelor Boy13/2
