Finished last of seven over a mile to Shamrokh at this track last month on his return from an eight month absence (stable debut). Needs to improve massively to figure dropped two furlongs in trip.
Has run consistently at this track on her last two starts (both over 7f), including against Spinwheel (runs at 3.40pm), and right upto her mark of 70. Promises to be most competitive in a weak maiden and possibly suited by this drop back to 6f at a stiff, galloping track.
Fourth foal by Aqlaam out of Bahamian Babe who is a half sister to 7f winner Bahamian Boy. Keen and outpaced from two furlongs out after racing prominently over C&D last month when sixth of seven to Ettu. Improvement needed.
Forecasts
Hitchcock (10/11), Batten The Hatches (7/2), Bloomin Lovely (7/2), Channel Packet (20/1), Boogie Babe (20/1), Night Shadow (40/1)
A poor maiden in which Blooming Lovely looks assured to go close with the benefit of course experience and promising to be suited by dropping back to 6f. However, she isn't the most abundantly talented, so a chance is taken that the well related newcomer BATTEN THE HATCHES can make a winning debut for David Barron.
1. Batten The Hatches
