5 yo Filly

OR: 68

Form & Verdict
Gone well fresh before and started favourite for a similar handicap on her C&D comeback a fortnight ago, back to the usual cheekpieces after one try in blinkers; can miss the break and pull hard but she's one to consider despite a wider draw this time.

Often ran well in these cheekpieces last year, and they go back on for this reappearance run following a lesser effort in blinkers in December; returns on a competitive mark and has gone well in the past when fresh.

Hasn't been seen since last August and goes without the usual headgear for his new yard; David Allan rides Running Cool and likely best watched unless there's good money around.

Just one win, over C&D in 2023, but he often ran well in defeat for previous yard and his stable debut here, when close behind one who was quite well treated, was encouraging; should be in the thick of it again.

All five turf wins from the front over C&D in the summer months, on ground ranging from good to firm to good to soft; looks very likely to give it a bold shot from a low draw, following a satisfactory comeback.

Did almost all his racing, and gained all his wins, for David O'Meara over 5f; closed out last season with an easy victory (picked up for 5,000gns not long after) and being put up 7lb for that sees him high enough in the weights; might just need this at his age.
