20/1

Showed modest form in three novice/maiden starts, finishing eighth of 10 in 5f novice at this course (33/1) 30 days ago, doing best work late. Stepping back up to 6f for handicap debut could suit.

Forecasts

Espona Bay (11/10), Grey Horizon (11/4), Blindfold Games (11/2), Golden Havana (8/1), Far Too Fizzy (17/2), Tafah (12/1), Black Rock Beauty (20/1), Faithful Dream (28/1), Life After Love (50/1), Lina Codina (66/1)

BLINDFOLD GAMES has shown improved form since switching to handicaps and looks ready to strike after finishing third here 13 days ago when wandering under pressure. Far Too Fizzy pulled hard last time but still finished second and poses the biggest threat if settling better. Grey Horizon enters in winning form after success at Southwell and remains competitive despite a 5lb rise.
