9/4
28/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 3 days ago, readily. A 5 lb penalty may not stop her if in a similar mood.

Forecasts

Strictly Dreaming (9/4), Sparkling Spirit (10/3), Marcello Si (9/2), Drakeholes (9/1), Shine's Ambition (11/1), Inexplicable (14/1), Written Broadcast (20/1), Brother Dave (22/1), Atrafan (22/1), Mr Coco Bean (25/1), Billy McGarry (28/1), Rum Runner (33/1)

Verdict

STRICTLY DREAMING had plenty to spare at Wolverhampton on Saturday and could prove a tough nut to crack if coping with the quick turnaround. Sparkling Spirit, Marcello Si, a dual course winner last month, and Inexplicable can give her most to think about.

  1. Strictly Dreaming9/4
