Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: A Wintle| OR: 59| D

9/1

Readily got off the mark at Wolverhampton in November but not seen to best effect since, bumped start next time then saddle slipped when ninth of 10 in handicap back at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Well worth another chance off a lenient-looking mark.

Forecasts

Kitaab (9/4), Once Adaay (9/2), Reputation (6/1), Dynamic Talent (8/1), Berkshire Phantom (17/2), Diamondsinthesand (9/1), Angel Amadea (10/1), Absolute Dream (12/1), Floral Splendour (33/1), Star Of St James (50/1)

DIAMONDSINTHESAND hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since getting off the mark at Wolverhampton and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Recent-scorers Angel Amadea and Once Adaay rate the obvious threats, with Absolute Dream another to consider in an open handicap.
