CLOTILDE wasn’t beaten far when sixth at Wolverhampton in July. She is a risky proposition on her first start since but none of the opposition inspires much confidence. Honiton Lace landed a double over 7f here at the turn of the year and has won over a mile before.

Fidelma Moon remains 8lb higher than her win at Carlisle last summer while though Primrose Brown went close over track and trip in January but finished last here on her latest start.
