11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, ran best race when fourth of 14 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 11 days ago. That was barely modest form though, so easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Win Win Power (4/11), Breezyandbright (5/1), Hachert (6/1), Hannah's Return (6/1), Brazen Arrow (9/1), Galton (11/1), River Chorus (12/1), Krystal Maze (22/1), Dirty Leeds (25/1), Gorgeous General (28/1), Jenever (40/1), Piselli Molli (40/1), Vamos Chica (40/1), Lil Bit Of Magic (250/1)

This looks a shrewd bit of placing from connections of WIN WIN POWER, who had plenty in hand when making a winning start for this yard here a fortnight ago and he should prove tough to beat kept to this company. Hannah's Return has a tricky draw to overcome but she's feared most having opened her account at Wolverhampton last month, with Breezyandbright and River Chorus another couple fancied to be in the mix.
