8/1, career best when winning 8-runner course handicap (7f) 16 days ago. Weaved her way through to lead close home on that occasion and a 2 lb nudge may not prevent her from going in again.

Forecasts

Gincident (5/2), Bowood (3/1), Vibrato (11/2), Bella Bisbee (15/2), Repertoire (10/1), Al Mudhaffar (14/1), Siam Fox (14/1), He's A Gentleman (16/1), Sixfiveseven (16/1), Sceptic (50/1)

BELLA BISBEE only went up 2 lb for her recent 7f course success and is taken to defy the handicapper. Bowood will be a threat if in the same form as when going close over C&D a fortnight ago. Gincident is also down to a mark he should be very competitive from.
