Natus Vincere (4/1), Queen Of Steel (9/2), After Many Days (9/2), Take A Hike (9/2), Kantagua Du Large (11/2), Shesupincourt (10/1), Walkinthecotswolds (18/1), Sophie Power (20/1), Subtle Fortune (22/1), Pearl Smoke (40/1), Chosen Hero (40/1)

Verdict

TAKE A HIKE seemed to find the test too much at Ayr (24.3f) on her most recent outing and is taken to resume winning ways back over a more suitable trip. After Many Days is still a maiden but has definite claims from her mark if putting a lesser effort at Market Rasen quickly behind her, with Kantagua du Large another to consider dropping in grade.
