6/1

Stepped up on reappearance when winning at Windsor in June. 5/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 9 days ago, left poorly placed so needs treating as though still in form. Shapes as though worth a try over this trip.

Forecasts

Baileys Warrior (11/4), Anna Of Saxony (7/2), Hiccups (9/2), Mujid (6/1), Rita Rana (15/2), Grifter (9/1), Triple Nickle (11/1), Miss Raindrop (25/1), Sky Dancer (40/1)

BAILEYS WARRIOR hasn't raced on turf since 2021 but she arrives in excellent order and the booking of Oisin Murphy adds further lustre to her claims. Mujid is pretty reliable at this level, while Anna of Saxony could be the potential improver now handicapping up in trip.
