Gladiadora (20:50 Windsor — Class 6 Handicap, 1m)
A five-year-old bay mare trained by Charlie Clover and partnered by Saffie Osborne, who retains the ride after going close at Kempton on 8 July, finishing second of ten at 11/4 favourite, beaten 2¾ lengths. She drops back into a Class 6 handicap tonight where her recent form looks well above the level of most rivals, and she features in today’s market movers — always worth noting.
Good to firm ground at Windsor suits, the 1m trip is her optimum distance, and Clover has an 18% win rate with her across their time together — a solid record for a mare at this level.
Verdict: Back to win at 6/4 — consistent mare, retained jockey, market confidence. Should go well tonight.
