Donald McCain does particularly well with the females that he trains and he has a 31% strike rate in bumpers at this track so it is a fair bet that there is a significant amount more to come from Alexander Road, though preference is for MOLLYASH. Stuart Crawford has saddled seven winners in this sphere from just 21 runners in his career as a licence-holder and he gives this five-year-old Irish point winner her racecourse debut today. She should be staying on up the stiffish climb for home and a chance is taken on her. Hannah Jacques has invaluable experience and is feared, while pointing winner Baileys Ruffit is worth a check in the market.
