led and set steady pace, pushed along and quickened tempo after 4th, joined 3 out, soon headed, no impression when dropped to 3rd approaching 2 out, ridden and beaten between last 2
TEARSOFCLEWBAY is conceding weight all round but she only weakened on the run-in when fifth in a Listed race at Haydock last month and can see off hurdling debutante Queen Odessa, who had decent form in bumpers and is one to note. Chilli Romance was 20 lengths behind the selection at Worcester in the autumn while Molly Carew and Postbridge were well beaten at Fontwell earlier this month.
