10/1

Creditable second of 12 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 12 days ago. Arguably unlucky not to win last time and is handicapped to go one better.

Forecasts

I Can't Believe (6/4), Port Noir (4/1), Molly Valentine (15/2), Mykonos St John (8/1), Lhebayeb (10/1), Sassy Glory (12/1), Clyde Bay (12/1), Balqaa (14/1), Whiteley Way (16/1), Genta (18/1), Star Of St James (33/1), Taskheer (50/1)

LHEBAYEB was a touch unfortunate not to score last time and, from a lenient mark, she's worth a chance to gain compensation for all that Port Noir represents a stern rival. Balqaa also merits consideration in an open-looking event.
