Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 5 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Can't be dismissed with headgear left off now.

9/4

Still a maiden but she posted a very good second of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 49 days ago. Bold showing is on the cards off the same mark.

Forecasts

Jack Langley (5/4), Sapphire Sirocco (9/4), Home And Dry (4/1), Witch Hazel (13/2), Tilsworth Silver (66/1)

SAPPHIRE SIROCCO can race off the same mark as when a very good Lingfield second last time out and remains unexposed over staying trips so edges the vote in this tight-knit handicap. Recent Lingfield scorer Jack Langley is feared most under a 6 lb penalty with Witch Hazel and Home And Dry both in the mix too.
