Senorita Rumbalita made up for her dismal chasing debut at Kempton with a foot perfect round of jumping today. Robert Thornton was little more than a passenger over the final two fences as the Alflora mare ran on with a passion. The Alan King-trained mare was rated 131 over hurdles and may prove to be of a similar standard over fences. This will have done her confidence no harm and she is one to keep on the right side if she is kept to these mares only races. Harringay was the only serious challenger as events undfolded but her winning streak was already brought to an end by the time she negotiated the final fence.
