In-running (Sudbury Hill (IRE))
“Wore hood to post and raced freely - second throughout - contested lead turning in - moved along fine when the field reduced to two 2 out and left clear - pushed along before last and further ahead on the run-in - won with something to spare”

Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Affection
Affection won multiple times on the Flat in France and is likely to be well served by the step up in trip on her hurdling debut; shaped as though needing a more demanding examination on her most recent stable run and a course that rewards stamina should suit. Sudbury Hill made a promising hurdles debut despite giving first run away and finished runner-up, likely to come on for that outing if ridden with more purpose. Keep Under Wraps and Hearts To Heaven both have pedigree questions to answer on debut. Affection is our selection.
