Roody Toody¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: R T Phillips

50/1

Seemed to leave her debut form well behind when eighth of 17 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago, but she has the run of the race from the front and might be flattered.

Form: 98

9/2

Promising type. 3/1, fourth of 12 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, needing stiffer test. Capable of better now stepping up to 7f.

Forecasts

Shakeela (15/8), Battle Queen (10/3), Run For The Sun (9/2), Cloudy Skye (5/1), Word Play (7/1), Garden View (8/1), Completed (10/1), You'vemetyourmatch (16/1), Roody Toody (50/1), Grand Lady (200/1)

RUN FOR THE SUN gets the vote with 7f promising to suit her but a strong market move for well-bred newcomers Battle Queen and/or Completed would put a slightly different slant on things. Cloudy Skye got stuck in the mud last time but showed promise prior to that and also merits respect.
