7/4

33/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 66 days ago. Runner-up over this C&D off 1 lb higher on final run of last season and she will be a danger to all if reproducing that level of form.

Forecasts

Galel (7/4), Match Anthem (7/2), River Wharfe (15/2), Till It Shines (17/2), Heerathetrack (10/1), Embarked (10/1), Balmy Breese (11/1), Stoic Syd (16/1), Red Walls (40/1), Diamond Cottage (66/1), Lincoln's Inn (66/1), Letter Of The Law (150/1)

A chance is taken on GALEL, who hasn't fired in two starts over 6f since the turn of the year but she went close over C&D in November and is entitled to have a big say back at this trip off a 1 lb lower mark. The consistent Match Anthem is second choice ahead of River Wharfe.
