10/1

Notched 2 classified wins on AW in February and good runner-up efforts in AW handicaps on both starts since. Has won a bumper and novice hurdle over jumps so no there's reason why she won't prove as good back on turf.

Forecasts

Federated (7/4), Vampire Slayer (9/4), Sonning (11/4), Star Start (9/2), Hot Team (11/2), Bella Bluesky (10/1), Kittykarma (11/1), Hiccups (22/1)

VAMPIRE SLAYER split next-time-out winners when runner-up at Catterick last month so looks well treated off only 1 lb higher. Bella Bluesky and Federated arrive in good form from AW and head the dangers in a competitive finale.
