Alondra

F: 12533358

Age: 4
Weight: 8st 11lbs

Successful twice at Wolverhampton in February. Mostly creditable efforts since and not seen to best effect with eighth of 13 in handicap over C&D 3 weeks ago, making her effort earlier than ideal. Considered.

Low-mileage Showcasing filly. Bagged a second win on her turf debut in 8-runner handicap at Pontefract (6f) 24 days ago, always holding on. Up 5 lb but she's not taken lightly.

Fairly useful 6f scorer for Tom Clover in 2025. Has become a shade expensive to follow after a promising return and shaped as if amiss when last of 10 at Newmarket (6f) 41 days ago. Engaged Newmarket 11.45 Thursday.

Ready winner over 6f here and followed up at Leicester later in May. Has continued in very good nick, taking strong hold when fourth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f) 20 days ago. Must enter calculations.

Timeform Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but WINGED MESSENGER didn't enjoy the rub of the green when in midfield at York last time and has slipped to a good mark so edges the vote from in-form C&D scorer Papa Cocktail. Both Ruby Red Gove and Zubaru also need factoring into this competitive handicap.

Betting Forecast

25/1 Kats Bob, 13/2 Papa Cocktail (Ire), 25/1 Duran (Ire), 5/1 Photosynthesis (Ire), 17/2 Winged Messenger, 22/1 Alondra, 4/1 Ruby Red Gove, 12/1 Sixtygeesbaby (Ire), 7/2 Zubaru
