Instinct²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Shepherd| T: A West| OR: 52

9/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving Lawrence Mullaney when fourth of 6 in minor event at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to raise her game now handicapping, but that is entirely possible.

Forecasts

Andromedas Kingdom (6/4), Tranquillity (4/1), Espresso Freddo (4/1), Instinct (9/1), Mayz (14/1), Letter Of The Law (14/1), Qeyaady (18/1), King Elvis (28/1), Sapperdean (33/1), Rainbow Sign (40/1), Spanish Storm (50/1)

It's hard to look beyond ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM, who belatedly opened her account in a classified race at Beverley last month and is on a good mark returned to handicap company. Tranquillity and Instinct can fill the places.
