9st 4lb

J: N G McCullagh

T: M C Grassick

A 6f Laytown winner in September off 46; five wins at 6f/7f; has never run over this trip so may lack the speed to match some of these, especially returning from a 331-day absence.

J: Finley Marsh

T: Adrian Wintle

Close second in Nottingham classified (5f, good to firm) in July and won a classified here (5.7f, firm) a fortnight later; held in sixth in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time but had to wait for a clear run and the return to a shorter trip may be a positive; in calculations.

T: Adrian Wintle

Experienced ex-Irish mare who was second at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July on third start for Adrian Wintle and won by a nose and the same in a nine-runner classified at Bath (5.7f, firm) on latest, leading from Symbol Of Hope on the post and with Sisters In The Sky grabbing third; considered in this handicap, particularly as going back to 6f may well help.

Ex-Irish mare who went close in this grade at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, on her third start for Adrian Wintle, and ought to be better suited by this longer trip; likely contender.
