Prime Time Lady^e/s,h²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Alex Edwards⁽³⁾| T: Mrs M Rowley| OR: 112| CD

7/4

Exuberant sort who arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Warwick and over C&D last month. Double penalty demands a bit more of her but still much respected in her current mood.

Forecasts

Hophornbeam (5/4), Prime Time Lady (7/4), Comedaygoday (9/2), Toughasoldboots (8/1), More Joy (50/1), Chancer Dancer (66/1)

It didn't take long for Gordon Elliott to work his magic with HOPHORNBEAM and she's taken to add to her Clonmel handicap success. Prime Time Lady has really got her act together lately and can provide the chief threat ahead of Comedaygoday, who has first outing for new trainer Barbara Butterworth here.
