25/1

Maiden but found only one too good at Epsom in July. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 29 days ago and suddenly she has a fair amount to prove.

C&D winner who was sent off 50/1 but left previous efforts this season well behind when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago. Now looks very well weighted.

13/2

Much more like it returned to this trip when second of 7 in minor event (17/2) at Chelmsford 14 days ago. Not taken lightly back in a handicap from career-low mark.

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

Course winner. One win from 30 Flat runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Needs a good clip to aim at over this trip.

Forecasts

Purple Poppy (5/2), Shamardia (7/2), Coolagh Magic (18/5), Dequinto (9/2), Poetic Jack (13/2), La Verite (20/1), Crocus Time (25/1), Haveagobeau (50/1), Villas Bullet (125/1)

Having dropped a long way in the weights, COOLAGH MAGIC returned to form when second at a big price over C&D a fortnight ago and as a result, he now looks ready to cash in. Poetic Jack and Dequinto head the opposition.
