Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M D I Usher| OR: 48

66/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 18/1). Off 7 months ahead of this debut for new yard and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Yard also saddles Arlecchino's Gift.

13/2

4/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 34 days ago. Wasn't seen to best effect on that occasion and capable of a bold show if he puts his best foot forward.

There were excuses for JUMIRA BRIDGE at Wolverhampton last time and he is of strong interest back at this course. One For The Ladies has been knocking on the door and she should be involved in the finish, along with the in-form Q Twenty Boy and Arlecchino's Gift, who is lurking on a dangerous mark.
