2 wins from 4 runs this year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 20 days ago, staying on well. Not taken lightly despite a 5 lb weights rise.

9/1

Arrives in good nick, fourth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Took this 12 months ago so he's very much one to consider again.

Miss Monte Carlo²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ross Coakley| T: E Walker| OR: 68

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden who resumed from 4 months off with a promising second of 7 in handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm, 11/2) 26 days ago, finishing strongly having suffered a poor run 2f out. Interesting.

Form: 2242

Forecasts

Miss Monte Carlo (11/4), Aim For The Moon (4/1), Speriamo (7/1), Savanna King (8/1), Sugarloaf Lenny (17/2), Queen's Company (9/1), Fillyfudge (10/1), Pledge Of Honour (11/1), Coolree (14/1)

Lots with chances but Ed Walker's MISS MONTE CARLO shaped very well after a lay-off when runner-up on her handicap bow at Leicester and earns the vote. Fillyfudge rates the main danger on the back of her recent C&D victory, although last year's victor Queen's Company and the handily-weighted Aim For The Moon can't be ruled out easily either.
