Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to firm, 200/1) 31 days ago. This modest performer is passd over.
Timeform Verdict 
It could be worth siding with STINTINO SUNSET, who should come on for last month's reappearance spin on the all-weather and she has edged back down to the mark off which she was successful on fast ground at Windsor in September. Back From Dubai, Odd Socks Havana and Life On The Rocks have all been knocking on the door and are feared in that order of preference.
Betting Forecast
9/2 Back From Dubai (Ire), 12/1 Mr Trick (Ire), 4/1 Odd Socks Havana, 10/3 Life On The Rocks (Ire), 22/1 The Ormer Gatherer, 7/1 Stintino Sunset, 50/1 Monks Mead, 13/2 First Encounter, 33/1 Offiah's Boy
