5/2
7/4, third of 9 in minor event at Haydock (6f, good to soft) 64 days ago, faring the better of the 2 pace-forcers. She's been expensive to follow so far, but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if she puts that right now handicapping back at the minimum trip.

Forecasts

Cool Run (5/2), Vice Captain (9/2), Keldeo (5/1), Newport Bay (6/1), Zaphea (7/1), Whogoesthere (15/2), Travel Candy (8/1), Very Blue Moon (33/1)

Verdict

VICE CAPTAIN found a bit extra for the drop to the minimum trip when getting off the mark in a Bath maiden 10 days ago and he looks the way to go back in handicap company. Cool Run has been expensive to follow so far but she's fancied to go very close on nursery debut, with Zaphea and C&D winner Travel Candy completing the shortlist.
