| Seems more straightforward nowadays and probably finished last year in better heart than form figures suggest (race not run to suit at Newcastle in November). She's been a well-backed winner over C&D previously and would be interesting if supported on return. | ||||||||

BEARWITH has a close second and a win to his name over C&D, and while stall 15 isn't ideal, he has a good-value apprentice aboard and may enhance his fine record here. Relevant Range and Bay Dream Believer both make each-way appeal. |
