FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CHURCHFIELD ANNIE has a fine pedigree and it is encouraging that she debuts as a four-year-old for a yard which does well in bumpers. By a French-based stallion who has produced Grade 1 winner Irish Point, the selection is a half-sister to two Graded-placed winners, while today’s rider claims a helpful 7lb. La Cote Fleurie is by a staying stallion and is also from a French family which has plenty of stamina, and could also be quite useful. Red Sea Girl showed nice ability when finishing third, having made a mistake at the third-last, at Wexford in August while Circus Hill also has proven ability.
