HAATS OFF has yet to win but this should fall her way with Southwell regular Champagne Mondays likely to make the running. The latter likes to race up with the pace as when scoring on the Fibresand in December and should prove a good target for the selection to aim at. Brian Barr’s filly was placed off 8lb higher marks on Turf last year but will need to be sharper at the start today than she was at Kempton last month.
Haats Off 25-1 (9-1) Slowly away, took keen hold towards rear, ridden over 2f out, no headway, 7th of 8, 8 3/4l behind Distant Mirage (9-0) at Kempton 6f hcp (5) pol in Feb.
Champagne Mondays 20-1 (8-6) Chased leaders near side, ridden along halfway, weakened inside final 2f, 8th of 13, 9 3/4l behind Gorgeous General (9-10) at Southwell 5f hcp (6) pol in Feb.
