Wild Act (G)
[H]
Hooded but still raced too freely when fifth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (7f) on debut 19 days ago. The drop to 6f could be a good move and Billy Loughnane takes the reins this time. Has the potential for significant improvement.

Mayson filly. Sister to useful winner up to 1m Stone Soldier and half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner L'addition and 1m winner Duchess of Fife. Bred to have a future but best watched this time unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
