Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Bethell| OR: 64

10/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in C&D novice 31 days ago. Her opening handicap mark demands some improvement but no shock were she to find it.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 64| D

40/1

Form: 3317-62

Forecasts

Leadenhall Street (5/4), Midnight City (7/1), Mighty Ruler (7/1), Dandy Magic (15/2), Alashos (8/1), Cemlyn (10/1), Bow Street (16/1), Psychodrama (16/1), Piranha Rama (40/1), Mini Mac (50/1)

LEADENHALL STREET shaped well when dropped to 6f for the first time at Kempton last month and can strike on handicap debut, perhaps at the main expense of Psychodrama who was a good second in a similar race at Lingfield last week. The shortlist is completed by Dandy Magic who should benefit from the return to 6f and has Billy Loughnane doing the steering.
