This looks between ALSEEYERTHERE and Kimnkate, both of whom arrive here with progressive profiles
The latter pulled clear of the rest when second to one who had the run of things from the front at Windsor recently and is not passed over at all lightly. However, Alseeyerthere showcased a good turn of foot when opening her account at Redcar and an 8lb rise may not be enough to prevent her from going in again, with further improvement likely C&D winner She’sThe Danger is best of the rest
