Finished sixth, beaten 7l, at Vaal over Christmas in a conditions race; has managed four wins from 13 career runs; one to take seriously from a draw which could make things easier.

Not far behind Imperial Master when eighth at Vaal last month (been dropped a bit); looks well treated on the pick of his form but failed to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; dropping in class but easy enough to take on.

A proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-12; fair form when 3½l third in November in a Grade 3 handicap; been raised a little in the ratings; big player in this lower-class event and post position could be a help.

Got the job done by just under 3l over 1m2f at Vaal (handicap) last month; has chalked up two wins from his last four; could be in the mix as steep rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him and he can cope with this step up in class.

Verdict

Littlemarysunshine has been hiked up the weights while Towers Of Gold is capable of running well. But FORGIVENESS looks set for a big run. She is a two-time winner at this track and has rewarded supporters in the past.
