BOTTI'S FILLY IDEAL FOR HUNGERFORD

- By The Scout (Melissa Jones)

GREAT GENERATION (3.35) is fancied to land this year’s Group Two Visit Malta Hungerford Stakes at Newbury.

Marco Bott's consistent filly usually gives her running at shorter distances but really is a seven-furlong specialist.

Over her favourite trip, Holy Roman Emperor's daughter has scored three times from just five attempts.

At the front end of the market, More Thunder looks a touch vulnerable having taken an age to master Aalto in Newmarket’s Bunbury Cup. As does Witness Stand, a flagbearer for Jamie Insole and Grand National-winning handler Dr Richard Newland, after he picked up the pieces in Goodwood’s Lennox Stakes.
