13/8

Winner at Beverley in July. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 29 days ago, slowly away. Looks vulnerable.

17/2

Tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 12 in minor event (18/1) at this course (10.2f) 49 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly up in trip and she may again find one or two too good.

13/2

Good second of 7 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good to firm, 14/1) 24 days ago. Reproduction of that effort would put her firmly in the picture.

Forecasts

Quercus Robur (5/4), Queen Roslyn (13/8), Star Of Markinch (10/3), Lillistar (13/2), Parish Record (17/2), Team Endeavour (28/1)

A fourth C&D success could be on the cards for QUERCUS ROBUR, who registered his third when returning from a break last week and he remains feasibly treated under a penalty. Lillistar went close at Ripon last month and is feared most ahead of Star of Markinch.
