Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Laura Pearson| T: J Ryan| OR: 56| D

4/1

33/1, took advantage of a plummeting mark when winning 10-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last week, leading under 2f out. 6 lb penalty to carry and remains well treated on old form. Sure to go close provided this doesn't come too soon.

Forecasts

Tilsworth Turf (11/4), World Of Darcy (4/1), Gherkin (5/1), Roman Spring (5/1), Bated Breeze (7/1), Art Fantastique (17/2), Thunderous Love (10/1), Crocus Time (14/1), All In The Hips (20/1), Milliethemollie (25/1), Company Minx (33/1)

The first port of call is WORLD OF DARCY, who took advantage of a plummeting mark at Yarmouth last week and John Ryan's 3-y-o remains very well treated on old form under a penalty. Second choice is Thunderous Love, who turned in her best effort since scoring at Salisbury in the spring when runner-up at Brighton last week, with Tilsworth Turf and Crocus Time both fancied to be in the shake-up, too.
