3 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in April. 12/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Naas (8f, good) 20 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter.

4/1

11/2, first run since leaving William Haggas when nineteenth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) 18 days ago, met some trouble. Hood on 1st time. Figures off a handy mark and must enter calculations.

6/1

Made winning reappearance at Gowran (8f) last month and only narrowly failed to follow up (off 6 lb higher) in 15-runner handicap over same C&D (good) 30 days ago. Big player.

Forecasts

Alpha Capture (4/1), Church Mountain (4/1), Expound (5/1), Pink Socks (6/1), Speckled Meadow (6/1), Chavajod (13/2), Grey Leader (15/2), Tomahawk King (8/1), Moondharrig (8/1), Drop The Dip (12/1), Gunsight (12/1), Charlie Brow'n (14/1), Blackberry Jack (14/1), Palo Duro (16/1), Dragon Of Malta (18/1), Red Special (20/1), Bobby K (33/1)

PINK SOCKS arrives in top form and may have gone for home a shade early when just denied her second victory at Gowran last month. She can make amends here. Expound and Alpha Capture head the list of dangers.
