16/1

C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in April. Career-best effort when close second over C&D in June and might be worth forgiving her a lesser run on a rare turf start since.

Liberty Bird¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S D Bowen| T: C Johnston| OR: 63

25/1

Form: 9-00435

Forecasts

Tequila (5/1), Romantic Spirit (11/2), Veraison (11/2), Waiting For Love (11/2), Baikal (13/2), Little Miss India (7/1), Concert Party (15/2), Pearl Dubai (14/1), Molly Valentine (16/1), Liberty Bird (25/1)

The vote goes to returning Sir Mark Prescott handicap newcomer BAIKAL, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Romantic Spirit's excellent C&D record makes her a possible danger, while Molly Valentine can probably be forgiven a lesser run on turf last time and went close in a competitive race over C&D prior to that.
