14/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1 when pulled up on Cork handicap debut in August but it's of some interest that her very much in-form leading stable is persevering with her. Needs a betting check faced with softer ground than previously on her return from a break.

Forecasts

My Good Pal (5/2), Mount Shenshan (11/4), Another Girl (5/1), Deanery Charlie (8/1), Koolio Kate (16/1), Massabielle (16/1), Couldntmakeitup (16/1), Light Her Up (16/1), Promo Queen (20/1), Milesfromthehonk (20/1), Sean Mc (20/1), Mastermind (25/1), Clever Court (33/1), Brown Boots (33/1), Catchyoulater (33/1), Lejolicoeur Du Mou (33/1), Sock It To Me (33/1), Keaner's Boy (50/1), Gamigin (50/1), Rajsalad (50/1), Run For Cover (50/1)

MY GOOD PAL is more consistent than many at this level and gets the vote for Gavin Cromwell. His stablemate Deanery Charlie rates a potential improver in handicaps and would firmly enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong. Mount Shenshan, a good second over fences last time, and Sean Mc also make the shortlist.
