Race Summary: UNDER CONTROL looked a good prospect when going in on her debut at Fontainebleau and is fancied to make a winning start for her new handler A few of these bring potential from the Flat and both Bluegrass and Fourofakind are taken to build on encouraging hurdling debuts and chase home Nicky Henderson’s promising filly in that order
