Bonne can follow up on her recent Nottingham win at the expense of Orange Pip and China Cherub. The selection won with plenty in hand last time and although she is now five pounds higher in the weights we feel if she reproduces the same level of form she should take all the beating. Orange Pip will pose as the biggest danger. She has been in great from all summer and broke her maiden tag in fine style on her handicap debut. That said she was raised ten pounds for her troubles that day so it remains to be seen whether or not the handicapper has now got the last word. China Cherub has more experience than most and has not been easy to win with. That said she looks to be off a fair mark right now so will be one to note, but for the winner we return to Bonne.
