10/3

Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good, 11/2) 20 days ago, doing too much too soon. Should go well back at 6f.

Form: 730-794

7/2

On a hat-trick after 6f handicap wins at Southwell and Nottingham last month. A further 3 lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop her.

Forecasts

Safari Dream (3/1), Clipsham La Habana (10/3), Thunderous Love (7/2), Beau Jardine (11/2), First Company (6/1), Unico (15/2), The Cola Kid (10/1), Little Miss Magic (11/1), Mammy (66/1)

THUNDEROUS LOVE can defy the handicapper and complete a hat-trick for in-form Jonathan Portman. Clipsham La Habana shaped as if back in form when fourth at Doncaster last time and is second choice ahead of The Cola Kid.
