Thanks Eggs. I see she went out to 20's yesterday with PP & Betfair, then cut a couple of hours later to 12's & 14's respectively.

She sure isn't as good as the previous mares Willie has sent for the race, but she goes with a fair chance, her form is not awful.
 
Henderson says in his latest Unibet column that Epatante is his best chance of the meeting

I've done the same Kev. I put her up in the handicap thread some time ago, for the Fred Winter so feel obliged to back her for this race.

copied.
good titbit from previews.
And nice bit of placing, with the weight allowance and likely solid form with Babylon and erec.
Breeding good for strength and staying too.
Should be able to keep going for longer than most of these.
Probably not Honeysuckle though:)
 
Yeah, a big enough price isn't it.

Guessing she gets the 4yo 8 lbs too?

Get's 10lb in total on the best ones , and 5lb on most of the others.
And had three proper races, unlike a lot of these young ladies, who'll be screaming and squeeling once it gets tough.
 
Posh Trish sea of blue today. Probably cause of Kevin and Harry being wax lyrical about her chances on the FFP
 
Honeysuckle out, wasn't one I had but feel for you guys.
 
I wasn't on but I'm sorry for the ones that were
 
Backed Queenohearts at 14s today - not the strongest form in the world but her one defeatcame against the boys.

Wins in heavy and soft so the rain is a plus and improved 5-6lbs from 2nd to 3rd run and am sure there is more to come

I’ve been on queennohearts all season at 33/1 but never expected her to actually turn up at the festival. The recent rain gave me hope but from what I’d heard she was more likely to turn up in the mares race, hope honeysuckle being out will convince them to come her.
 
Disappointed Honeysuckle is out as I was hoping to top up on Epatante. Will be too short now.

Glad I didn't risk Sinoria in the Martin Pipe.
