David O’Meara has wasted no time putting Al Mansoura into a handicap and she doesn’t look overburdened. Equidae is likely to enjoy the step back up to 7f after his third at Ripon but Lucky Violet is looking a shadow of her former self. Big City has been thereabouts lately and Our Dave won at Catterick two runs ago while Bumbledom is well drawn for a front-runner but this can go to SIENNA DREAM. She has finished in the frame in her last five starts around here, though is still 8lb higher than her only victory to date.
