Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (10f), not clear run. Off 123 days. Up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Franberri (5/2), Quantum Cat (3/1), Tenerife Sunshine (10/3), Rhythmic Intent (6/1), Royal Scandal (12/1), Howth (16/1), Sir Chauvelin (18/1), Haveyoumissedme (22/1), Furzig (33/1), Southern Voyage (40/1), Skilled Warrior (66/1), Achnamara (125/1)

Verdict

Lightly-raced 3-y-os FRANBERRI and Quantum Cat top the shortlist. The former finished behind the latter over C&D last time, but she was left with a lot to do and gets the nod to reverse the form on these slightly more favourable terms. Rhythmic Intent shaped well having a rare outing on all-weather at Wolverhampton recently and completes the shortlist.

  1. Franberri5/2
  2. Quantum Cat3/1
  3. Rhythmic Intent6/1
