9/4

Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. 10/1, soon back to form when second of 4 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 13 days ago, running on. Every chance of going one better than on her last 3 starts.

Forecasts

Jer Batt (1/1), Sugar Hill Babe (9/4), More Than A Grey (15/2), Ben Dikduk (17/2), Gypsy Nation (12/1), Fair And Square (20/1), Ma Famille (33/1), Passion Tango (40/1), Lady Loveless (150/1), Ritarocks (150/1)

The eye is drawn to SUGAR HILL BABE, who has filled the runner-up spot on her last 3 outings (including twice here) and Lisa Williamson's filly is worth siding with to get it right this time. Jer Batt may emerge as the most likely danger making his yard/all-weather debut, while any support for newcomer Gypsy Nation would put a slightly different slant on things.
