2/1

Has won 3 times since switched to turf this year, pulling a little way clear with an in-form rival when landing the odds in 11-runner contest over C&D under Tom Marquand at the beginning of this month. Good second of 10 at Beverley since. Another bold show is on the cards.

22/1

Forecasts

Buckland Belle (2/1), Amarachi (3/1), Rating (4/1), Chilly Breeze (17/2), Fizzy Bear (10/1), Thiscouldbefun (14/1), Dappled Light (18/1), Denby's Dream (20/1), Blue Hero (22/1), Mayberry Moon (25/1), Man From Havana (33/1), Exotic Baby (33/1), Havana Club (40/1), Afta Party (40/1)

BUCKLAND BELLE can land the fourth win of a very productive season. Rating has a solid C&D record and heads the dangers along with Amarachi and Chilly Breeze.
