Cahors¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: A Carson| OR: 73

Forecasts

Cahors (10/3), Lady Quickstep (7/2), Silent Queen (4/1), Come On Girl (4/1), Portugueseprincess (5/1), Miss Thoughtful (14/1), Lua De Mel (22/1), Company Minx (40/1)

CAHORS improved again when making a successful handicap debut at Wolverhampton 19 days ago and, with another step forward on the cards, he's capable of defying a small rise now up against more exposed types. Portugueseprincess has been given a chance by the assessor following her third in claimer at Lingfield, so she's also considered along with Lady Quickstep.
