Entered in a Group 2 next week Curfew has an excellent chance of picking up some decent prize money in this weak looking Listed contest. Speaking on their website, Jacko Fanshawe wife of trainer James said: "I have had a look through his race at Ascot tomorrow and it looks as if she would definitely have a chance. Her last race didn't go according to plan at all but if all goes well tomorrow she will run well." The race she referred to was at Doncaster where the TEAMtalk selection 'won' the race on the unfavoured far side. Ahead of him that day were the inconsistent pair Silent Crystal and Starfan but she should have their measure. The main danger could be Lady Zonda who recorded a fine victory and a good time when winning at Haydock two weeks ago and in that type of form should go well.
