Golden Freckle²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Declan McDonogh| T: T J O'Mara| OR: 47

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Best effort to date returning from 11 months off when fourth of 15 in handicap (50/1) at Limerick (1m, good) 25 days ago. Far less exposed than most she meets here and one to consider.

11/1

Winner at Cork (7f) in May. 18/1, creditable 2 lengths fifth of 15 to Barnhill Rose in handicap at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft) 15 days ago, no extra late on. Consistency not her strong suit but not out of things with a repeat.

Forecasts

Golden Freckle (11/2), Wrist Art (11/2), Barnhill Rose (6/1), Leviosa (6/1), Han Solo (7/1), Pallasmore Lass (17/2), Purring Along (11/1), Chimeric (12/1), Simply Sideways (14/1), Darkened (16/1), The Blue Panther (16/1), Speckled Meadow (16/1), Deuteronomy (20/1), Faithful Prince (22/1), Lisabetta (25/1), Rose Of Malta (25/1), Tashim (28/1), Gidwa (66/1)

GOLDEN FRECKLE arrives one of the least exposed and marked herself down as one to be interested in when fourth on return/handicap at Limerick 25 days ago. She gets the nod to build on that, with Pallasmore Lass, Barnhill Rose and Rose of Malta a trio of others to consider.
