11/8

11/4, unlucky not to win when second of 6 in minor event at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 25 days ago, just failing having been short of room. Down in trip and this mark should be within range.

Forecasts

Tanazadia (11/8), Killeaney Bear (9/2), Bear Profit (13/2), Alabama Calling (13/2), Koniag (8/1), Alessia Fernanda (9/1), Polaris Dancer (10/1), Polemon (11/1), Chavajod (20/1), Bobby K (50/1), What A Squeeze (80/1)

TANAZADIA looked unlucky not to win a novice event at Tramore 3 weeks ago give she was denied a clear run and on that evidence, this mark looks a workable one back in a handicap. Killeaney Bear and Alessia Fernanda are a couple of potential threats.
