Nico de Boinville: “She should have improvement in her as a lightly-raced 5yo.”

Holloway Queen
Hopefully, it can rain as much as it likes for Holloway Queen, as her best form has come in deep ground, when winning by a wide margin at Haydock. And she probably wasn’t far off that form when fourth at Sandown, albeit she only beat only one home in that Grade 2 and we think she is better than that. A mark of 127 doesn’t seem overly-generous on her bare form, but she should have improvement in her as a lightly-raced 5yo, whether it be over hurdles here or fences down the line.

Eremenko
This looks like a hot mare’s bumper, but our horse did it well when winning on her debut at Southwell in May, and she can hopefully give a good account of herself, though the likely ground is an unknown. But you never know; this half-sister to Doddiethegreat may relish it.
