JORD can continue her good run at the expense of Folly Lodge and If You Knew Suzy. Alan McCabe's mare has been in good heart of late and while it is of a modest concern that her better form has obtained at Wolverhampton; she does act on this surface and her presence appears to have scared off the meaningful opposition. Folly Lodge was a smart juvenile. The fact that she has been kept in training at this stage in her career suggests that she must still be showing some aptitude for the game. If You Knew Suzy did not get the clearest of runs at Catterick and had ran well here in a maiden at the course in January. Friends Hope was well beaten at Bath earlier in the week. Bookiebasher Babe was well turned over in a claimer last time out whilst Amber Moon is well out of the handicap. Jord will prove too good for her rivals tonight.
