Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: Conner McCann⁽⁷⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 98

3/1

Expensive to follow last season and was most disappointing over C&D final start. Does at least start the new campaign off a fair mark on the pick of her form and she's back down in class here.

Huit Reflets^v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-13| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: M Walford| OR: 83

Forecasts

She's Notjoeking (3/1), Huit Reflets (4/1), Balally Park (11/2), Game Beaaa (11/2), Milajess (11/2), Mr Globalist (15/2), Clan Chieftain (8/1), Oasis Prince (40/1), Ivynator (50/1), State Of Honor (125/1)

SHE'S NOTJOEKING may not be straightforward but she starts the new season off a fair mark so could be worth chancing back down in class. Game Beaaa shaped better than the bare result when going for the hat-trick at Market Rasen, while Milajess should give another good account.
