11/4
Arrives on the up after back-to-back C&D wins recently. Scored comfortably on latter occasion 6 days ago so she's a player under a 5 lb penalty in her hat-trick bid.

Forecasts

Brazilian Rose (11/4), One More Dream (5/1), Novak (11/2), Profit Street (11/2), Sibyl Charm (13/2), Hiatus (7/1), Strong Power (14/1), Rory (20/1), Nazca (50/1)

Verdict

BRAZILIAN ROSE's form is on an upward curve so Rebecca Menzies' low-mileage 4-y-o is fancied to defy a 5 lb penalty and complete a C&D hat-trick. Hiatus figures on a handy-looking mark and heads the list of dangers, with Novak, Strong Power and Profit Street all worthy of consideration too.

  2. Hiatus7/1
  3. Novak11/2
