Half-sister to five winners from 5f-1m1f and out of a 5f-6f winner (including Listed). Has shown promise in two maidens almost two years apart. Stable have a modest strike rate here and possible she may want further.

7/1
Fetched 110,000 gns as a yearling and made an encouraging start when second on debut at Doncaster behind an Andrew Balding horse. Next run may have come too soon when only beating one home at Lingfield. Hood fitted for first time and yard are 9-40 with their three-year-olds here for a nine point profit.

Raced too freely on his reappearance and is dropped in trip. BHA rating of 72 sets a standard that could be surpassed by a couple in this. Stable do well here and continue in good form.

4/11
Half-sister to three sprint winners and out of a mare who won over 5f, including in Listed company as a two-year-old. Took a keen hold on debut in a slowly run race when chasing home a Godolphin hotpot and would be expected to improve for that experience.

Verdict

Andrew Balding should know exactly where he stands with Gloriux who was runner-up to another Kingsclere inmate at Doncaster last season. Their runner here FAIR COP has a speedy pedigree and has the benefit of a recent run at Chelmsford where she came up against a nice Godolphin horse in a slowly run race. She was too keen that day but with a stronger pace she can open her account at the expense of Golden Easter. Robert Cowell does well with sprinters he inherits from other yards and also has an excellent record at this time of year with break returners.
  1. Fair Cop
  2. Golden Easter
  3. Gloriux
