13/8
Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but arrives on the back of 3 good runner-up efforts, the latest over 1m at Salisbury on Thursday. Should go well again if coping with the quick turnaround.

9/2
Sixth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (1¼m, good to firm, 11/1) 28 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper (now 4lb below the mark she defied last autumn) and no surprise were she to stage a revival.

Forecasts

Persian Phoenix (13/8), Liberty Coach (2/1), Roman Secret (9/2), Epidavros (12/1), Kaaress (14/1), Spring Festival (25/1), Keady Town (25/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on ROMAN SECRET staging a revival having dropped to a good mark judged on her peak 2-y-o form. Liberty Coach has performed with credit in both handicaps and is feared most ahead of Thursday's Salisbury runner-up Persian Phoenix.

  1. Roman Secret9/2
  2. Liberty Coach2/1
  3. Persian Phoenix13/8
