4/1

Won over 5f on the second of 2 starts in classified company here last month but started sluggishly when third of 6 in Lingfield handicap latest. Well worth another chance with sights again lowered.

Forecasts

Sedgemoor (9/4), Poetic Jack (3/1), Flicka's Girl (4/1), Dark Sorceress (5/1), Henry Tudor (13/2), Little Miss Magic (9/1), Hannah's Return (10/1), Beautiful Things (11/1), Lynwood Lad (11/1), Tilsworth Ony Ta (18/1), Magic Fluke (50/1)

C&D winner FLICKA'S GIRL sets the standard on return to classified company and is worth siding with. Beautiful Things looks interesting if back on song following a break, while Poetic Jack is capable around here on a going day.
