11/2

1 win from 3 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner handicap (11/2) at Newmarket (7f, good) 48 days ago. Well on top at the finish there so holds very good claims despite a 7 lb weights rise.

Form: 120-301

Forecasts

State Flag (5/2), Land Of Magic (4/1), Wonder Smile (11/2), Where's Freddy (11/2), Tayala (7/1), Red Maids (10/1), Clipsham La Habana (12/1), Dream Seeker (12/1), Freetodream (12/1), Follow Your Heart (12/1), Forever A Diamond (14/1), Achillea (16/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but WHERE'S FREDDY showed the benefit of cheekpieces when a ready Newmarket scorer last time so is taken to defy a 7 lb weights rise with the headgear again sported. State Flag could emerge as the main danger on the back of her C&D victory with in-form pair Wonder Smile and Clipsham La Habana also in the mix. Freetodream completes the shortlist.
