40/1
Course winner. 10/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.4f, heavy). Off 148 days and will probably find one or two too good.

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 10/1) 25 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others make more appeal.

Good third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 14 days ago, conceding first run. Likely to give another good account.

5/2
Visored for 1st time, creditable 3 lengths second of 10 to Faster Bee in handicap at this C&D (7/2) 7 days ago, left poorly placed. Booking of Morris a plus and he has to be taken seriously.

10/3
C&D winner. Three wins from 16 runs last year. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D 17 days ago. Each-way chance if she puts her best foot forward.

13/8
One win from 26 Flat runs. Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap (12/1) at this C&D 7 days ago by 3 lengths from Nammos, unchallenged. Strong claims under a penalty.

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, well positioned. Looks vulnerable.

Forecasts

Faster Bee (13/8), Nammos (5/2), Fistral Beach (10/3), Homme De Fer (9/2), Believe In Lies (11/2), Thomas Equinas (25/1), My Mate Beattie (25/1), King of The Dance (40/1), Marisitta (50/1), Whiteley Way (66/1)

Verdict

NAMMOS responded well to the addition of a visor (retained) when chasing home clear-cut winner Faster Bee over C&D last week, despite being left poorly placed given the way the race panned out. She meets the winner on 6 lb better terms this time and is taken to exact her revenge. Believe In Lies and Homme de Fer are others to consider.
