Sly Madam^p⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 77| C

13/8

Course winner who bounced back to form when taking 13-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 4/1) 5 days ago, forging clear. 5 lb penalty to carry now but looks sure to go well again.

Form: 1159-01

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 73WS

20/1

Disappointed when last seen on Flat before joining Charlie Longsdon. Failed to complete in a couple of starts over hurdles and plenty to prove back on the level for new yard. Tongue strap on 1st time/had wind operation..

Destiny Queen²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 73

5/1

Lightly-raced winner. Hooded for 1st time, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 80/1) 21 days ago. Entitled to build on that.

17/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 66/1), better placed than most. Off 136 days. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

10/3

Suited by strong pace when taking 14-runner handicap (9/1) at Bath (11.6f, soft) 15 days ago. 5 lb higher now, however, and remains to be seen if he can repeat that effort.

Forecasts

Sly Madam (13/8), Gold Souk (10/3), Aldbourne (4/1), Big Bear Hug (9/2), Destiny Queen (5/1), Mafia Power (13/2), Millions Memories (17/2), Aryaah (18/1), Ardbraccan (20/1)

Preference is for BIG BEAR HUG, who made a sound reappearance at Nottingham recently and should be suited by the step back up in trip. Sly Madam and Aldbourne can also make their presence felt.
