4 yo Filly

OR: 65

Form & Verdict
Form figures don't look great but they are misleading as she's had a couple of duff draws and heavy ground to contend with; went off too quickly at Southwell last time and now back on the mark off which she bossed a better race at Haydock in June; one to be interested in from handy draw.

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.

He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning.

Both wins have come on soft ground and latest was at Chepstow (5f) last month; three creditable efforts since then and was only beaten 2l over C&D (heavy) last time, when the blindfold was removed late; looks interesting on this drop back in grade and a bold show is expected.
