Has returned to form with a hood applied on her last 2 starts, making it back-to-back wins when scoring at Salisbury (6f, good, 7/2) 19 days ago. Thriving at present so she looks capable of going on to land the hat-trick.

Off the mark at Chelmsford (5f) in February and, with blinkers reapplied, back to that level when runner-up on his first 2 starts in July. In first-time visor, creditable fourth at Yarmouth (6f, good) a week ago and he could be thereabouts again.

Having left George Baker, ran well when making the frame on his first 2 starts this season. Excuses next time, but below form when sixth of 10 at Kempton (6f) on his latest outing. Now only 1 lb above his last winning mark.

14/1
Won over 6f in Hong Kong in 2023, but was struggling for form around the turn of the year and tailed off on his stable debut at Lingfield in June. Ran better when fourth of 7 at this C&D (good to soft) 3 weeks ago, but he still has work to do.

Forecasts

Macanudo (7/4), Alpine Girl (2/1), Enderman (3/1), Beauld As Brass (10/1), Twitch (14/1)

Verdict

ALPINE GIRL has proved as good as ever when winning her last 2 starts, value for extra having come from last when successful at Salisbury 19 days ago, so she looks to hold leading claims as she bids for the hat-trick. Macanudo has returned to form of late and is feared most back down in grade, ahead of the consistent Enderman.
