Addington, Friday, July 14 Race 5: SPOOKY (10, Katie Cox), fr, mob. 1950m: “He’s racing well. The draw could be either a good or bad one, it depends how the one in front of us gets out.

ADDINGTON, Friday June 30 Race 10: MANINTHEMIRROR (1, Sam Ottley), mob. 2600m: “I was pretty pleased with him first up in a field that was stronger than this.

A big filly still filling out her big frame and we won’t see the best of her until next season. On what she …
