The penny appeared to drop with JESSIEMAC last time when finding only one too good over these hurdles. She gets the vote to go one better in this. Irish raider Bracka Lily could only manage third on a trip over to Kelso last week but is still preferred to stablemate Milan Dancer while Chicago Lady has failed to build on an earlier second in novice company at Carlisle. Amberose may do better for today’s longer trip but Northern Girl seems to save her best for Wetherby
