Very strong in the market (6/4 favourite) but proved too headstrong when 14 lengths last of 8 to Alice Kelly over C&D 14 days ago. No surprise to see the hood back on now. Still early days.

Forecasts

Calcutta Dream (15/8), Alice Kitty (11/2), Bold And Loyal (11/2), This Ones For Fred (11/2), Tables Turned (15/2), Star Of St Louis (17/2), Measured Moments (10/1), Egoiste (11/1), Caracristi (12/1), Oscar Doodle (18/1)

MEASURED MOMENTS was in a good vein of form when last seen at the start of 2023 and might prove the answer to this closing 0-60. Calcutta Dream has tasted success here before and shaped better than the result when fourth at Newcastle last time so he's second choice ahead of Star of St Louis.
