Mud-lover has perfect conditions to go close again

No. 7

4.15 Ascot
1pt each-way at 11-1 generallyRed Starlight hasn't run too well on her last two starts, but I'd be happy enough to blame quick ground for that as she loves it testing.

It doesn't get much more testing than it was at Ascot yesterday, so conditions here should be right up her alley and she has run some of her best races on this track.

Most of her best form is over a mile, including on heavy ground, but her stamina for these conditions is going to be a major plus and, having been second to Di Fede (the one to beat again) in this race last year, she looks very likely to run well again.
