Will Sommers went close at Redcar before disappointing at Ayr when finishing behind Betty Grable and the latter has subsequently placed at Carlisle.

But the latter had earlier finished behind the less exposed runner-up FINALLY MINE at the same track and Keith Dalgleish’s filly is taken to confirm running over this extra distance and open her account.
