8/1

C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 9/2) 23 days ago. Slight drop in grade will help his cause, at least.

5/1

C&D winner. Very good second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) 7 days ago. Repeat of that will see him involved.

20/1

Better than ever when successful at Beverley in May. 12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Can make presence felt with that return behind her.

9/2

Landed third C&D win in 14-runner handicap 7 days ago, pushed out. Carries penalty but retains handicap scope so she looks the one to beat.

Forecasts

Keep Me Stable (9/2), Bicep (5/1), Ahamoment (13/2), Streak Lightning (8/1), Tiger Trap (9/1), Novak (9/1), King's Crown (10/1), Secret Road (11/1), Saisons D'Or (12/1), Captain Cuddles (12/1), Original Thinker (20/1), Theotherside (20/1), Greenwich (28/1)

KEEP ME STABLE travelled with real purpose when recording C&D win number 3 under talented claimer Tommie Jakes a week ago and there's no real desire to look elsewhere. Bicep and Novak seem likely to give their running so are perhaps the pick of the opposition.
