Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: J P Spencer| T: H Candy| OR: 57| D

10/3

2 wins from 3 runs this year. 2/1, career best when winning 12-runner minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) 28 days ago. Arrives at the top of his game and is effective on turf.

Katie's Kitten^b⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby| OR: 55| CD

3/1

3-time C&D winner. 9/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 9 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Threatening to come good and has been given a big chance by the handicapper.

(3)

Defilade^t²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 55

16/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. Creditable second of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Bath (8f, good) 21 days ago, suited by way race developed. Merits respect despite his poor strike rate.

5/1

6/1

Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 9/1) 16 days ago. Should give her running but others look better treated.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 56

11/2

18/1

Forecasts

Katie's Kitten (3/1), Four Feet (10/3), Girl Inthe Picture (5/1), Selfish Brian (11/2), Renegade Rose (6/1), Adatorio (15/2), Damascus Finish (12/1), Defilade (16/1), Grandstand (16/1), Hold The Press (18/1), Cents In The City (22/1), Destroyer (25/1), Graffa (200/1)

KATIE'S KITTEN has been shaping better than the result under aggressive rides and the handicapper has dropped her 5 lb since her latest outing, so she might be worth chancing over a C&D that suits. The hat-trick seeking Four Feet looks an obvious danger and Selfish Brian can't be dismissed.
