2/1

Is going the right way and posted a career best when winning 9-runner handicap here (6f) 31 days ago. Travelled strongly there so big shout despite a 4 lb rise now dropping to 5f for the first time.

Forecasts

Lethal Nymph (6/4), Heavenly Heather (2/1), Monks Dream (11/2), Farandaway (15/2), King's Crown (15/2)

A case can be made for all of these but HEAVENLY HEATHER impressed with how she travelled when scoring over 6f here last time out and can defy a 4 lb rise with this drop to the minimum trip a likely plus. King's Crown also arrives in fine nick though so should ensure Tracy Waggott's mare doesn't have things all her own way.
