9/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023 and seems to be in a lull for now, beating only one home in 11-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 11 days ago. Blinkers on for 1st time.

Form: 567-750

25/1

Came home last of 6 in first-time cheekpieces (8/1) at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) when last seen in June. Has won fresh before so not completely dismissed setting out for a new yard after 8 months off.

Cinque Verde¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 73| CD

16/5

Proved better than ever returning from 4 months off when winning 5-runner handicap (12/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb so has a solid chance of following up.

Forecasts

Twilight Madness (4/7), Mick's Spirit (7/4), Cinque Verde (16/5), Dubai Station (9/2), Bert Kibbler (25/1)

CINQUE VERDE won well under her promising rider here on her return a fortnight ago and can strike again. Twilight Madness might be the danger.
