Eighth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 66/1) 65 days ago. Has work to do if she's to gain a maiden victory here.

Prince Hector^b¹²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: J Bedi| OR: 48| CD

9/1

Took this 12 months ago and not disgraced in first-time blinkers when fifth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 9/1) 12 days ago. Not taken lightly now back up in trip in his follow-up bid.

Form: 55-2925

(6)

Forecasts

Gemini Man (10/11), Saachi (4/1), Virtual Hug (4/1), Prince Hector (9/1), Alex The Great (16/1), Muhib (22/1), Another Beautiful (22/1), My O My (50/1)

GEMINI MAN did well to overcome a steady pace when back to winning ways in similar company here last time out and is favoured at these weights too so looks very much the way to go. Last year's victor Prince Hector should ensure Iain Jardine's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way, however. Three-time C&D scorer Virtual Hug can also have a say.
