In depth
Verdict
Only four of these have racecourse experience but Maria‘s Flame did start favourite at Ludlow and was making up ground hand-over-fist in the closing stages haven’t been held up well off the pace. Her yard also run Brionywells and Anthony Honeyball is double-handed with Park Princess, a well-bred half-sister to four winners, and Briefly. DANCE TO THE MOON’s dam has produced winners with all eight of her offspring to so far race. Alan King has his horses running well and she might be the one to beat unless there is significant market support for one or more of the others. The Flat-bred Masala Chai is particularly interesting.
