12/1

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Shaped as if better for the run on back of 12 months off when seventh of 15 in minor event at Leicester (6f, good, 8/1) 35 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not taken lightly.

10/3

Due Diligence filly who justified good support and relished the drop back to sprinting when winning C&D minor event 9 days ago, making all and winning readily. That was a thin race but that may not prove her limit at this sort of trip.

Having been strong in the betting, THE WAITING GAME justified good support when winning with a good deal to spare in a C&D minor event 9 days ago and she could just be worth chancing to build on that returned to handicaps under a penalty. Oriental Spirit is lurking on a dangerous mark and remains low-mileage on AW, so he's feared, with Mostallim and Fiscal Policy also in the mix.
