(10)

Sisters In The Sky^p²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G Harris| OR: 48| BF| CD

10/3

Returned to winning ways in handicap over C&D in January and backed up that effort when second of 8 here 3 weeks ago, form boosted by the winner since. Leading contender back in a classified event.

Form: 80-3512

Forecasts

Sisters In The Sky (10/3), Fircombe Hall (4/1), Lion Ring (13/2), Optimistic (13/2), Isla Bella (7/1), Daley T (15/2), Conquest Of Power (17/2), Alyara (10/1), Coast (14/1), Poet (125/1)

SISTERS IN THE SKY gained a third C&D success in January before running at least as well when second to an in-form rival here last time, so he can take advantage of this drop back into a classified event. Isla Bella could be thereabouts once more as she goes back up in trip, with Fircombe Hall also in the mix.
