Though she’s finished second three times, it’s hard to knock AL HUJAIJA’s overall form and Aidan Keeley’s claim can help her finally get her head in front where it matters today. Apeeling has shown ability in both starts while Run For The Sun shaped nicely here last month, despite being slow leaving the stalls. Any market interest in Lou Lou's Gift, a half-sister to the Group 3 and Listed winner Mighty Ulysees, would be worth noting and Free As A Bird has an even more impressive pedigree being a sister to two winners including the top-class sprinter Tasleet.
