Hatysa¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 71

8/13

Winner at Southwell in July. Seemed to have her stamina stretched when fourth of 14 over C&D 18 days but that was a competitive Racing League event and it's interesting that her top stable is prepared to give her another chance at 2m.

Forecasts

Hatysa (8/13), Weddell Sea (4/1), Si Solus (9/2), Gastronomy (10/1), Louie's Folly (14/1), Cracker Star (25/1), Ebendi (125/1)

Although HATYSA faded in the closing stages of a competitive C&D Racing League event last month it's interesting that her leading trainer is prepared to give another go at 2m and she gets the vote over C&D specialist Weddell Sea.
