A weak maiden race can go to AUNT IRENE. The latter’s second here at the start of the month is the strongest piece of form on offer and she’s taken to confirm running with Strand De Oro and Blazing Ruby. She’s A Fair Catch has finished in the money without threatening on more than one occasion while Commission would have a shout if reproducing an earlier second at Monmouth. The newcomer Channeled’s Angel won’t need to be anything special to get involved but has been done no favours by the draw.
