7/2

C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 33/1) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and, having slipped to a workable mark, she's worth considering.

16/1

Nemorum^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: T Kent| OR: 50| CD

11/4

9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at this C&D 12 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Fast Flo. More needed up 5 lb but he's a player all the same.

Fast Flo^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45

10/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Creditable 2¾ lengths second of 8 to Nemorum in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 12 days ago. Blinkers back on and she needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Forecasts

Nemorum (11/4), Crystal Dawn (7/2), Marisitta (7/2), Lupset Flossy Pop (8/1), Sirius White (10/1), Fast Flo (10/1), Cabaret Show (16/1), Brazen Arrow (18/1), Shorts On (28/1), Royal Design (80/1)

It's probably best not to read too much into CRYSTAL DAWN's latest effort at Wolverhampton and she could be the answer in this open-looking handicap. The 7-y-o is now 3 lb below her last winning mark and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces she sports here will help. Lupset Flossy Pop should make her presence felt, while recent C&D 1-2 Nemorum and Fast Flo are live each-way candidates.
