10/1

Latest win at Yarmouth in July. Sixth of 9 in handicap (28/1) back at Yarmouth (7f, good) 29 days ago, left with too much to do. The stable is no stranger to success in this. Could play a part.

Forecasts

Candle Of Time (3/1), Homer Stokes (7/2), She's A Goldigger (6/1), Amathus (15/2), Bear To Dream (8/1), Heer's Sadie (10/1), Lockdown Lass (10/1), Love You More (12/1), Wrydcroft (18/1), Tilsworth Turf (40/1)

BEAR TO DREAM has enjoyed a good spell since the start of the summer and might be good for another win. Amathus is another who arrives in form and is second choice. Heer's Sadie was better than the result last time and could also have a say for a yard which has won this twice in recent years.
