Too Darn Good

9st 7lb

J: Nicola Currie

T: Henry Candy

Made all at Windsor off 2lb lower in July, before going off too hard in front at the same course next time; cheekpieces have helped but there's other pace in here from a wide enough stall on his Tapeta debut.

11th race brought his first win, when making all from stall 5 in 11-runner race over C&D (good to firm; at 11-1) three weeks ago under Taryn Langley; back up 3lb but inconsistency is the chief worry.

She has won over C&D but better known for her 5f exploits more recently; ran well at Windsor in July but failed to fire at Chepstow four weeks ago (her tenth course run but reportedly unsuited by the undulations of the track); others make more appeal.

All five wins came over 5f/6f on the AW between December and May, but she put up her best effort on turf so far when beaten just over a length into fourth of 11 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) five weeks ago; will have something to prove on the likely slower ground, though.
