13/2

First run since leaving Gemma Tutty when tenth of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 14 days ago. Might come on for that and one to consider.

6/1

Enchanted Night^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 47| D

18/1

Unreliable individual. One win from 48 Flat runs. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (6.1f, 14/1) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Hard to make a strong case for.

Form: 534926

Lil Wade¹⁰⁹

Forecasts

Fortunate Star (18/5), Howzak (9/2), Dandy Fitz (6/1), Jack Of Clubs (6/1), Doralee (6/1), Crypto Quest (13/2), Musical Diva (9/1), Spanish Angel (9/1), Colors Of Freedom (12/1), Enchanted Night (18/1), The Grey Lass (20/1), Lil Wade (22/1)

CRYPTO QUEST has a poor run to put behind him but this is just his second outing for a stable that does well at this track, so he's worth taking a chance on. Howzak is a danger on first outing for a new yard and Jack of Clubs can take a hand if back to the form he showed when successful at Beverley on his penultimate outing.
