Josephine Gordon: “She looks to hold a really good chance”

She hasn’t shown a great deal so far, including when stepped up to this trip at Windsor last time. But her mark of 53 reflects that and she may not have been seen to best effect after a slow start last time. Hopefully, there is more to come on just her fifth start, and this race has cut up a lot.

Banta Bay

I rode him when he won over course and distance on quick ground here in May and he has returned to that level in two recent starts. He did well over a trip short of his best when third over an extended 1m3f here last time, and he should go well, back up in trip.

Golden Lips

There are a couple of newcomers in here to worry about but she looks to hold a really good chance. This Golden Horn filly ran her best race yet when second to an expensive and well-bred debutante at Thirsk last time and that gives her fair claims in here.

Fronsac

He looks well handicapped on his Chelmsford third to Auxerre last September. He ran by far his best race of the season when fifth at Kempton last time but the handicapper dropped him another 2lb for it, and that could make him competitive in this 0-70.

He looks to have been a bit disappointing in his recent starts, but that at least means he is only 3lb higher than when winning well at Catterick on soft ground last month. This quicker ground is not a concern, and hopefully he can bounce back to form here.
