Rhubarb^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Price| OR: 45

9/1

Forecasts

Mostallim (3/1), Kupa River (10/3), Cesifire (7/2), Pholas (5/1), Moonlighting (11/2), Rhubarb (9/1), Peruvian Summer (12/1), Visibility (12/1), Pilgrims Pursuit (28/1), Its All Clover Now (50/1)

MOONLIGHTING makes her fibresand bow but arrives in great nick so is hard to side against in a race where plenty have question marks against them. Pholas remains unexposed so could prove the one to give Roger Teal's filly most to do now she goes handicapping, although Cesifire can have a say too if shrugging off a modest last run at Kempton.
