Has run well both starts since returning from a 3-month break, second of 4 over C&D 29 days ago. Winner has gone in again so very much one to consider off an unchanged mark.

7/4

Resumed her progress for current handler with most emphatic success in 10-runner handicap over C&D (good) 8 days ago, forging clear 1f out. Already a 3-time scorer this summer and she's weighted to go in again under a 6 lb penalty.

A Daughters Love (7/4), Meet Me In Meraki (5/2), Belle Of Kt (4/1), Noble Grace (11/2), Bulldog Spirit (11/1), Claytons Kolatonic (28/1)

A DAUGHTERS LOVE spreadeagled her rivals over C&D last week and is impossible to side against turned out under a penalty. Hat-trick seeking Belle of Kt appeals as the one to chase home David Flood's improver ahead of Meet Me In Meraki.
