Sly Madam^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: T E Whelan| T: Miss S West| OR: 80| D

5/1

Scored on heavy ground at Windsor (8.1f) in April and largely acquitted herself well in defeat since. Others make more appeal for win purposes, though.

5/2

Posted best effort yet when close second of 10 in handicap at this course (9f, good) 31 days ago, running on. 2 lb rise fair and ought to go well again.

Form: 142-842

Eastern Charm¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76| CD

4/1

Belied market weakness when landing her fifth win in a row at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, pushed out. 3 lb rise more than fair and she is effective on any ground. Big player.

Improved with each start thus far, latest when third of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 33 days ago. Hood now added for handicap debut and likely has more to offer yet.

Forecasts

Tango Tonight (5/2), Eastern Charm (4/1), Zabbie (9/2), Sly Madam (5/1), Classic Times (6/1), Chealamy (10/1), Bloomwithgrace (10/1), Film Star (11/1), Bernadine (12/1)

EASTERN CHARM continued her habit of just doing enough when scoring at Ripon earlier this month and remains fairly treated as a result. She can extend her winning run. Classic Times shaped well at Wolverhampton last month and is feared most on her handicap bow, whilst Film Star is also much respected.
