Coastguard Lady⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

6/1

11/1

€18,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune filly. 14/1, sixth of 17 in bumper at Tipperary (2m, good) on NH debut 28 days ago, keeping on well under hands-and-heels riding. Better to come for shrewd outfit.

5/1

Promising sort. 3/1, fifth of 17 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good) on NH debut 28 days ago, running on. Open to improvement.

Form: 5

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 17 in bumper at Tipperary (2m, good) 28 days ago, ridden 2f out and keeping on. A repeat should see her in the shake up again.

Forecasts

Mel Monroe (5/6), I Am Shadow (4/1), Fox In The Park (5/1), Coastguard Lady (6/1), Fortunate Lighting (11/1), Watermark (28/1), Parkrunner (40/1), Theretirementfund (50/1), Mi Lucky Cailin (66/1), Soldaro (80/1), Rathnaleen Zoey (80/1), Rouge Ruby (150/1)

I AM SHADOW has greater experience than most and ran her best race yet when finishing a close-up third in a Tipperary bumper 4 weeks ago. She could be the way to go in a wide-open affair, with easy point scorer Mel Monroe, Fox In The Park and Coastguard Lady others fancied to play prominent roles.
