11/4

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 7/1) 10 days ago, going on over 1f out and just holding on. Carries penalty. May well have more to offer at this trip so every chance she will be in the mix again.

6/1

Winner at Wolverhampton in January. 13/8, possibly found race coming too soon when 9 lengths ninth of 11 to Lady In Havana in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Shortlist material.

Form: 08-719

Upper Hand⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 59

9/2

5/1, respectable second of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 66 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Butler (8,000 gns) and a return to this trip will surely prove beneficial is he can brush up on his slow starts (has also been gelded).

Notre Dame⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 58

3/1

Took another small step forward when second of 9 in nursery at this C&D (well-backed 10/3) 50 days ago, nearest finish. Can give another good account.

Lord Danielson^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: P & J Clutterbuck| OR: 55

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, never involved when seventh of 9 on handicap debut at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago, going with little fluency. Hood back on. Tough to recommend.

Form: 006-7

Bitcoin Profit^t²⁹

10/3

Wasted no time getting back to form when second of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 29 days ago, keeping on when short of room late on. In the mix once again.

Forecasts

Lady In Havana (11/4), Notre Dame (3/1), Bitcoin Profit (10/3), Upper Hand (9/2), Floating Voter (6/1), Ludberg (20/1), Lord Danielson (25/1)

Tough to rule out any of the septet but the vote goes to FLOATING VOTER, who possibly found a third run of the month one too many when behind Lady In Havana at Southwell 10 days ago and Ollie Sangster's gelding can double his tally with cheekpieces replacing blinkers worn last time. Notre Dame and Upper Hand are another couple also fancied to be in the shake-up.
