This mark will ask questions of her but clearly progressing well after her novice wins

0-11 and bought for £24,000; has the form to be competitive off this mark
2	J'Ai Froid Bay J:John Kington T:L J Morgan	J:John Kington T:L J Morgan	166	p	05-5P8	120	117	49	172d	—	—	+5	22.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Rattled off a four-timer in 2021 but no joy since and his reduced mark is warranted

Penalised for yesterday's Fontwell win that ended in a match; this is a lower grade

It was a good handicap in which he pulled up after a long absence at Newbury
