5/2

Winner at Chepstow in June. 10/3, shaped as if still in top form when fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 30 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has to be taken seriously.

Forecasts

Marmalade Lady (15/8), Three Dons (5/2), Private Bryan (9/2), Highland Lil (13/2), Calculate (14/1), Nevendon (16/1), Masar Way (22/1)

Preference is for MARMALADE LADY, who shaped as if still in top form when fourth at Lingfield last month and first-time cheekpieces can eke out that little bit extra. Three Dons wasn't disgraced in the pursuit of a 4-timer at Brighton just over a fortnight ago, so he heads up the dangers, with Highland Lil rounding off the shortlist in a change of headgear.
