THEGREYVTRAIN ran better than for a while in first-time cheekpieces when third over this C&D 18 days ago. More severe headgear is reached for and she's taken to build on that effort and gain her first win since summer 2019. Red Allure has recorded both her wins over this C&D so is feared most, ahead of Arcavallo, who is proving hard to win with but again ran well in third at Newcastle on Tuesday.
