Regent – 16:50 Chelmsford

Flags: Horse in Focus, Sectional Timing

Regent was strong in the market ahead of her debut at Kempton last month, the Frankel filly sent off the 7/2 second favourite despite being only one of three newcomers, but she blew her race through greenness at the start, veering left and very slowly away. She shaped well by the finish however, still with plenty to do under two furlongs out but keeping on well to take third near the finish. That closing effort was backed up by the clock and she remains open to potentially significant improvement, so she is taken to get off the mark at the second attempt.
