Return To Longer Trip To Suit Mare
Consistent Type Ready To Get Her Head In Front With Conditions To Suit
The Philip Kirby trained SAVANNAH MOON raced 20 times on the flat, eventually over middle distances, and managed a couple of wins and a few places. She is sent for her fourth race over hurdles today and has a real chance of getting her first gold over jumps, with the extra three furlongs sure to suit. Her last race was here over two miles one, and though – as in her previous two tries over jumps – she wasn’t foot perfect, she ran an admirable race in context when third to GRACELAND and INESSA, beaten just two lengths. The winner has run badly since – so badly, it can be regarded as irrelevant, but the second produced an absolute cracker in a Class 1 handicap hurdle at Cheltenham when third of 16 to Sunshade, making the form look excellent.Savannah Moon is best on BTO regular and speed ratings and. significantly, get two positives for the staying ability of the progeny of her father Canford Cliffs. It’s probably a three-horse race with LATE AGAIN and THELONGWAYAROUND significant rivals but neither looks progressive. The mare is best at 7/4 and will be backed. G Lees
