18/1
C&D winner. Visored for 1st time, not disgraced when eighth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 20/1) 42 days ago. Sole success came from a 7 lb higher mark and he can't be ruled out.

One win from 23 Flat runs. 4/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Holding form well in recent weeks and no reason why he won't give another good account.

Good fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 12 days ago, no extra only late on. Remains unexposed at this trip and she's worth a second look.

Remains a maiden but returned to form switched back to this venue of late, finishing a close-up sixth of 14 in handicap over C&D 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. One to bear in mind.

Good fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 33/1) 14 days ago, fading final 1f. Needs to pull out more if she's to open her account here.

C&D winner. 66/1, eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 28 days ago, possibly in need of the run following 10 months off. This should reveal more but she hasn't stood much racing in recent years.

Forecasts

Rattletheonionbag (9/2), Velvet Skies (9/2), Hezahunk (5/1), Crystal Luna (6/1), Wild Mountain (13/2), The Cola Brasil (15/2), Hasiyna (14/1), American In Paris (16/1), Bruce Lightning (18/1), Eriskay (18/1), Princess Plumeria (25/1), Fly To Glory (33/1), Maestro Stick (80/1), Conversant (80/1)

Verdict

RATTLETHEONIONBAG has got back on track returned to this venue in recent weeks and gets the narrow vote to shed the maiden tag. Crystal Luna, The Cola Brasil and Hezahunk are others in with a shout in a typically-competitive affair.
