BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS COMEDIAN LEADER comes out as the likeliest winner, with the Gay Kelleway stable in among the winners recently. Only beaten a nose on her final start for Alice Haynes, she made her debut for new connections at Newmarket where she was hampered at the start before coming home a four-length last of eight. She has been dropped 2lb and looks ready to get off the mark. Menalippe has a chance if blinkers do the business, while Senor Pockets is also noted.

DECLARED RUNNERS 4 2021: FREYABELLA 2 9 7 Robert Tart 4-1 (Jane Chapple-Hyam) 11 ran Blinkers worn first time by No. 3. Stewards Note: MENALIPPE: Following its run on 30/7/2022 it was reported that the horse needs a slower surface. Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Comedian Leader (GB), 5-2 Menalippe (IRE), 10-3 Senor Pockets (GB), 5-1 Miss Marianne (GB)

PLAY SMARTER All of these come with risks attached but MENALIPPE figures on a good mark so gets the nod in the hope the fitting of blinkers gets her back on track. Comedian Leader has less on her plate than on her nursery bow at Newmarket and rates the chief threat to James Ferguson’s daughter of Bungle Inthejungle.
