11/8

4/5, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (9f, good to soft) 8 days ago, cosily. Carries penalty. Going the right way and capable of following up in a race that lacks depth.

Forecasts

Come On You Spurs (11/8), Dashing Donkey (10/3), Sold The Dream (4/1), Queens Road Revue (13/2), Our Dagger (7/1), Lumenbourg (16/1), Monkey Miss (20/1), Queen Of Africa (33/1), Pickled Pepper (33/1), Koji (33/1), Lady Twilight (40/1), Electrified (50/1), C'mon Pompey (80/1), Project Frank (150/1)

COME ON YOU SPURS is on an upward curve and was well on top at the finish at Lingfield 8 days ago so, if the race doesn't come too soon, she can get the better of Our Dagger, who shaped well in Ireland last time and has few miles on the clock. Dashing Donkey arrives at the top of his game, so he also merits consideration.
