5/2

Modest filly. 10/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 18 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Has to be taken seriously in a thin event.

Forecasts

Busby (11/8), Letmeseethecolts (5/2), Storm Asset (4/1), Damoiseau (11/1), Back From Dubai (16/1), Stand Free (18/1), Kitten's Dream (33/1), Gimcrack Warrior (66/1)

Having scored here in December, BUSBY was just worn down late at Newcastle 12 days ago, and he's worth a chance to get back to winning ways in a race that lacks depth. Letmeseethecolts is the only one of the opponents to arrive in form, so she's the main threat, although market support for Back From Dubai would be significant.
