Her form over the summer has been consistent (mainly at Worcester) but he can make mistakes and the cheekpieces tried on her last two starts are now discarded. Yet to win a handicap over hurdles and there looks to be no slack in her handicap mark.
Looks a rather in-and-out sort although she has scored twice in her last five outings putting in a career best to record her last win at Worcester. Once again bounced back to form last time (better than final placing) despite jumping poorly.
Makes a return to handicaps having landed a weak Sedgefield novice last time out (without headgear this time) when her main rival fell. Some 14lb above her last winning mark so this won't be easy but comes here with yard in good form.
Sure to attract market attention as many do on their first run for this burgeoning yard despite not having the form to support the price. This one has run poorly of late but no surprise to see a rejuvenation and regeneration given the modus operandi of the yard.
Took a couple of similar events last season (ridden from the front both times) but although she ran consistently after that she failed to win again. Failed to build on a good reappearance effort but now heading back towards her last winning mark.
Looks to be in good form of late and would surely have gone close but for falling last time two out here over a 2m3f trip. Would surely have been placed on that occasion and if none the worse for that experience can make her here off the same mark.
Her opening mark in handicaps looks a little stiff but she is progressing gradually. Running in a grade that is tougher than she needs to here and would appreciate an easier task but one to keep an eye on when she does.

Undefined Beauty (1/1), Solstalla (9/2), Hint Of Grey (6/1), Midnight Walk (8/1), Bobble Boru (9/1), Milan Of Crystal (10/1), Ginger Fizz (12/1), Scotsbrook Night (14/1)
Undefined Beauty is bound to be all the rage here in the market given the Olly Murphy connection and how he has worked the oracle with similar types but the form isn’t there to support the price and she offers no value in the market. Hint Of Grey deserves to win a handicap but faces a stiff enough task giving away weight to the entire field here with Ginger Fizz entering the mix but she would have to jump better to be of real interest here. Bobble Boru is starting to look interesting again off this mark and would be a danger with an unopposed lead while Midnight Walk comes from a yard in good form. In the end though it may well be worth taking a chance with MILAN OF CRYSTAL who moved well through her race last time before capsizing two out with the shorter trip not looking to be a problem.
- Milan Of Crystal
- Midnight Walk
- Ginger Fizz
