Perfect Arch (9/4), Her Indoors (16/5), Capla Huntress (7/2), Let Rip (5/1), Byron Hill (10/1), Manucci (11/1)

CAPLA HUNTRESS didn’t need to improve to complete the hat-trick at Wolverhampton last month, just about getting away with the emphasis on speed, and is taken to complete an impressive 4-timer with the extra distance holding no fears. Her Indoors is going the right way now handicapping and rates as the main threat, ahead of Let Rip.
