Fifi L’Amour made
a pleasing comeback after a 250 day break, as Kayflin did last Monday, when she
finished 3rd in a maiden handicap hurdle at Fakenham from 5 pounds
out of the handicap. Under Brendan
Powell she was jumped off at the front on the outside of another horse that
wanted to be prominent. They set a good
gallop in the blustery conditions and maintained their positions, creating a
small gap to the third placed horse, until turning out of the back straight for
the final time. Here the leader moved on
as Fifi tried to keep pace. The
favourite, who had looked beaten down the back, began to stay on and the three
of them were all in contention rounding the turn for home. The favourite got up to win and Fifi finished
third beaten a neck and 4 lengths.
