2/1

C&D winner last summer. Shaped well when third of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, 10/1) 27 days ago. Has good chance on the back of that very promising reappearance down in class.

9/2 and blinkered for first time, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago, lost all chance at start. Headgear left off and is well treated these days.

Dandy's Angel¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 61| CD

6/1

Five-time C&D winner. 125/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this course (8.4f, good to firm) 11 days ago, suited by strong pace. That effort suggests she's back in good order.

Form: 119-072

Life On The Rocks^v¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: R A Fahey| OR: 56| D

15/8

Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Leicester (10f, firm, 5/4) 14 days ago. This is a better race but he's in form and his consistency is hard to knock.

Life On The Rocks (15/8), Princess Niyla (2/1), This Years Love (18/5), Dandy's Angel (6/1), Solar Bentley (10/1), Dawn Of Liberation (14/1)

PRINCESS NIYLA made an excellent return to action when chasing home a couple of 3-y-os at Wetherby last month and eased in class, she has plenty to recommend her. Five-time C&D winner Dandy's Angel returned to form here last time and that effort puts her right in the mix, with Life On The Rocks another in good order.
