5/1

Not seen to best effect when third of 7 to Easy Dancer in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 11/4) 16 days ago. Can go well again in her bid for a maiden victory.

Forecasts

Cock And Bull (8/11), Almudena (5/1), Rakki (6/1), Liam Swagger (13/2), Easy Dancer (20/1), Far L'Amore (33/1)

COCK AND BULL is enjoying an excellent season and didn't enjoy the rub of the green when runner-up over C&D last time so is fancied to bag a third C&D victory. Almudena also wasn't seen to best effect on her most recent start when third at Wolverhampton and is feared most in her bid for a breakthrough success. Easy Dancer and Liam Swagger need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
