C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (5f, soft) 13 days ago. Better on AW, so not completely ruled out.

Forecasts

Azure Angel (11/4), Knebworth (3/1), Ferrous (11/2), Exalted Angel (9/1), Intervention (10/1), Fresh (11/1), Desert Cop (11/1), Watchya (16/1), Rebel Path (25/1), Strong Power (66/1), Rathbone (66/1), Good Earth (66/1)

Verdict

AZURE ANGEL is highly progressive and had something to spare when getting the better of another improving sort at Newcastle last time, so she boasts excellent claims once more. Ferrous and Knebworth also arrive on the back of career-best, winning efforts, so they could well trouble the selection.
