Visored for 1st time, third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/1) 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Well treated and worth chancing in the hope that the race is run to suit.

Forecasts

Giselles Izzy (5/2), Willingly (4/1), Belle Fourche (9/2), Lady Nagin (9/2), Puntarelle (11/2), Sassy Redhead (11/2), Zina Colada (10/1), Kodias Sangarius (14/1), Snow Berry (16/1)

BELLE FOURCH is on a lenient mark and took a firm step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton last time, so a chance is taken on her in an open race. Zina Colada and Willingly are both obvious dangers.
