Another well conformed G3 winning 3 year old bay filly by capable sire Authorised out of the wonderful producer Out For Storm who is as yet untested on this track but conditions look good for her. To be ridden by M Mills and will jump from gate 3. Didn’t run the trip last start at G1 level but this looks much more suitable, facing open age for the 1st time but has good prospects in an even affair . ODDS 9/1

Another well-bred Stakes winning 4 year old bay daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar out of the fine producing, Graded placed, Stakes winning mare Tete’s Gal who is as yet untested on this track but performs well around this distance range, looks nicely suited.
