Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |
