Dundunah failed to show any improvement last year having gone close at York on her intorduction. She makes her handicap debut along with Flawlessly. Hot Hannah won at Musselburgh last season and was ahead of Mightaswellsmile when fourth at Haydock in October and Harbour Lightning went close in handicaps off a similar mark to today’s on a couple of occasions last term. KODICAT picked-up too late at Newcastle on her reappearance and never threatened despite finishing third. But she should be sharper for this and Kevin Ryan’s filly gets the nod
