A predictably tricky handicap hurdle to solve with just the 24 runners declared, but UNDEFINED BEAUTY looks of most interest. Never out of the front two in three runs since joining Olly Murphy, this hat-trick seeker has been raised another 10lb but probably had more in hand at Sedgefield last time out than the official winning margin suggests, and this progressive contender could get his head in front again here in conditions which should suit. He is just preferred to Sunnytahliateigan, who ran a great race in second last time out and should be able to progress further if putting in a more professional performance in the closing stages, while the unexposed Melrose Boy could have a say if overcoming an absence since January. Rebel Yeats and Black Ivory are others with claims.
