7/2

Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 12 days ago. Down in trip and blinkers back on. Others are more persuasive from a win perspective.

Forecasts

Mrs Trump (2/1), Porfin (7/2), Alfred Cove (4/1), Enchanted Night (11/2), Atty's Edge (7/1), Liberty Bay (10/1), Zeno (10/1), Company Minx (12/1), Viewfromthestars (22/1)

Excuses can be made for MRS TRUMP's recent reverse at Ripon and, granted better luck here, she might be the answer to an open-looking contest. Alfred Cove has been knocking on the door on the all-weather of late and he could be the one to follow the selection home. Atty's Edge and Liberty Bay can do battle for minor honours.
