It took Wolverhampton winner Waneen 16 attempts to finally get his head in front while Frangarry needed 17 tries before landing an amateurs’ race at Windsor when beating Head Space. Frangarry has earlier finished well behind KIRINGA when the latter won at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start and Robert Cowell’s filly gets another chance dropping back down into this grade. Bilash ended a long losing run with victory at Nottingham in August and is upped 4lb while Willow Spring is usually thereabouts at this level.
