AL HARGAH has been holding her form well since opening her account at Leicester in July, not getting the race run to suit when beaten only a neck at Windsor 5 days ago, so she can get back to winning ways this time around. Heading the list of dangers are Eton Blue and Carp Kid, with the former not seen to best effect when the pair met at Chepstow last month.
