6/1, below form back up in grade when fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 11 days ago. Threatening to come good soon so not discounted.

14/1

Ran respectably having slipped back down to last winning mark when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 6/1) just over 5 weeks ago. Could well step up on that effort here.

Forecasts

Intoxicata (5/2), Doves Of Peace (10/3), Ajrad (4/1), No News (6/1), Endless Season (12/1), Delagate The Lady (14/1), Porterinthejungle (16/1), Warrior Square (16/1), So Chic (18/1), Essme (25/1), Ok Pal (66/1)

INTOXICATA seemed well suited by the return to 7f when scoring with a bit in hand at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and, nudged up just 3 lb, Ed Dunlop's filly is fancied to go in again. Porterinthejungle didn't go down without a fight when fourth at Windsor last month so she could well emerge as the main threat, with No News and Essme (who has had a wind op since last seen) another couple worth considering.
