13/8

Showed little ability in three maiden/novice runs at 7f-10f earlier this season. Won handicap debut at Southwell over 6f (16/1) 18 days ago, finding plenty despite racing alone down the centre and staying on to lead close home. Likely to remain competitive over this distance.

Forecasts

Dancing With Drums (13/8), Mister Sandman (4/1), Castellina (4/1), Dark Sorceress (5/1), Rovinia (13/2), Beautiful Things (9/1), Sarabi (16/1), Questa Notte (22/1), Ridgeway Redwing (25/1), Luzon Prince (50/1), Miraflores (125/1)

DANCING WITH DRUMS showed significant improvement when winning on handicap debut at Southwell, finding plenty despite racing alone down the centre, and is of strong interest again. Rovinia has shown improved form since joining this yard, while Beautiful Things took a step back in the right direction over C&D recently.
