12/1, won 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Should remain very competitive up 3 lb.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁷⁾| T: T Davidson| OR: 68| CD

5/1

Six-time C&D winner, including this race for the last 2 years. Respectable fifth of 9 over C&D (soft, 17/2) 18 days ago. No surprise to see her make a bold bid for another win in this race with the promising Rhys Elliott taking 7 lb off her back.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63| D

22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seemed stretched by 7f when second of 6 in handicap at Catterick (soft) in May. Equipped with a first-time tongue tie on this return from a break.

Forecasts

Rock Melody (7/2), Nariko (4/1), Catherine Chroi (5/1), Iris Dancer (5/1), Midnight Affair (11/2), Giselles Izzy (7/1), Mostar Dreams (9/1), Powerdress (11/1), May Blossom (12/1), Happier (22/1), Eminny (25/1)

There could be more to come from lightly-raced 3-y-o NARIKO, who can make light of a 7 lb rise for her win a very competitive race at Haydock in the spring and deny Iris Dancer a third successive win in this race. Recent Kempton scorer Powerdress completes the shortlist.
