On Monday Sunday Jimmy Wright made clear that he sees Coolavanny Aunty’s future over six bends, but she stands just one run away from becoming only the second female winner of the ARC Puppy Classic (Sarah Dee ’98), with a hugely impressive semi final win on Monday.

But she won’t head the betting (according to Ladbrokes – prices quoted below) with Paul Young’s Bubbly Apache (7-4) looking to emulate Bubbly Bluebird in a high quality final. The shortest priced runners in each semi prevailed and the decider is worthy of an event of this magnitude.
