Dalby Forest¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D M Simcock| OR: 63| D

8/1

Got off the mark at Chelmsford City in February. Off 4 months and shaped as if the run was needed when fading fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, firm) 15 days ago. Can build on it now.

Forecasts

Libra Tiger (7/4), Sera Dawn (3/1), Symbol of Hope (5/1), Just Glamorous (11/2), Dalby Forest (8/1), Mary Of Modena (14/1), Cabeza De Llave (20/1)

None of these can be ruled out but C&D scorer JUST GLAMOROUS returned from an absence in style at Salisbury and can defy a 3 lb rise in the weights. Libra Tiger is knocking on the door and seems sure to be in the mix once more, with Sera Dawn another who can have a say in her bid for a third success of 2023.
