7/1

Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 4/1) 61 days ago, slowly away. 2 lb nudge no real issue and she should make her presence felt if handling conditions.

C&D winner. Two wins from 43 Flat runs, the latest here in July. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, soft, 4/1) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and would have a chance if on-song.

Forecasts

Beyond Equal (5/2), Land Of Magic (10/3), Sub Thirteen (7/2), Cypriot Diaspora (9/2), Pop Star (6/1), Happy Tears (7/1), Connie's Rose (12/1), Media Guest (16/1), Sarah's Verse (16/1)

If in the same form as when going close at Nottingham last week, CYPRIOT DIASPORA will take plenty of stopping off the same mark here. Beyond Equal's losing run continues to mount up but, on the upside, his mark continues to drop and the 9-y-o looks dangerous. Land of Magic and Media Guest are others to consider.
