RIVER DUN ran an odd race when favourite last time out, acting as if it were the first time she had seen a racecourse in places, but ran a race full of promise on her penultimate start and it may be worth hoping that first-time cheek pieces will help with those quirks and see her finally get off the mark here in conditions which should suit. If not, then either the consistent Flanagans Field or handicap debutante The Mistress could be the one to pick up the pieces.
