Classy Dame¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: R Eddery| OR: 65| CD

11/2

Three wins from 12 runs last year and looked unlucky not to add to her tally when head second of 5 in handicap at this C&D (AW, 5/1) 14 days ago, running on late after meeting trouble. Of interest.

Form: 5644-22

Forecasts

Enfranchise (1/1), Fountain Cross (3/1), Classy Dame (11/2), Mighty Power (7/1), Rhubarb Bikini (25/1), Doolin Dancer (28/1), Matchless (66/1)

ENFRANCHISE ran her best race tackling 1¼m for the first time when runner-up over C&D last week, and the way she came home suggests she has more to offer at this trip, so she's an obvious candidate. Classy Dame looked unlucky not win here last time having met lots of trouble early in the straight, so must be considered a big threat from only a 1 lb higher mark, with Fountain Cross also respected.
