100/1

Dual winner at around 1m in Denmark as a 3-y-o. Largely disappointing last year and low-key efforts in pair of starts over hurdles upon joining present stable this summer. Not the easiest to assess.

Forecasts

Snag It (10/3), Storm Eric (7/2), Neverfindanother U (9/2), Comfort Line (7/1), Folly Beach (8/1), Gurkha Girl (9/1), Dabana (11/1), Stormy Jenn (12/1), Breezy Zoff (14/1), Indulging (16/1), Muhalhel (16/1), Miss Paloma (20/1), Say You're Sorry (20/1), Unterberg (25/1), Barrys Rock (33/1), Carrickfinn (50/1), Meadow Soprano (100/1)

NEVERFINDANOTHER U is building up a solid record over C&D, adding to her tally on her penultimate start prior to another solid effort when runner-up 16 days ago. She looks sure to go well again and earns the vote, with Stormy Jenn and Dabana others to consider. Storm Eric is also interesting provided this marked longer trip doesn't stretch him.
