3 yo Filly

OR: 64

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) last month on stable debut, opening her account at the ninth attempt; may build on that win and show further progress; subsequently withdrawn at Ffos Las due to being unruly in stalls; highly respected otherwise.

Frequent slow starter who was the biggest price of his trainer's three runners when winning easily at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) last Saturday, without the usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces, as today; had looked on the downgrade on the AW but happier on turf; leading claims back up 6lb.
