Too Funky³⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: R Spencer| OR: 55

25/1

No more than hinted at ability in 3 outings over sprint trips last autumn. More chance now handicapping but it's taken a while to get her back to the track. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations.

40/1

Three-time C&D winner. Also scored at Southwell (7f) in January. Off since a below-par run there in April so peak fitness has to be taken on trust.

Canagat (9/4), Thaayer (4/1), Tea Garden (5/1), How Bizarre (5/1), Hardy (10/1), Clotherholme (14/1), Western Melody (22/1), Too Funky (25/1), Ramamaras Boy (28/1), Sequeira Lady (28/1), Bobby Joe Leg (40/1), Spirit Of Bowland (40/1), Havana Cabana (150/1)

David O'Meara has a good record with new recruits so CANAGAT is taken to strike now dropping to 0-55 level for the first time. Tea Garden has made a solid start to her handicap career and is feared most ahead of Clotherholme and How Bizarre.
