5/4

Well backed and settled better than has been the case when off the mark in a novice against her own sex at Ayr in November. Went through the race like a well-treated mare in a handicap latest.

Irish mare who opened her account in Clonmel handicap in September. Kicked at the start at Ayr last time so that run can be ignored and she's now back in distance.

Forecasts

Cancan (5/4), Millarville (10/3), Ravenscar (5/1), Roxanya (17/2), Joie De Vivre (12/1), Deo Bellator (18/1), Burnt Ash (20/1), Laskadine (20/1)

CANCAN arrives at the top of her game, going through the race with plenty of purpose back in a handicap at Ayr in November and her mark looks a good one. Ravenscar showed a lot more at Sedgefield and is a big threat if repeating that form, with Millarville also of interest.
