Most of these step up in distance and that includes Lady Hester, making her handicap debut having failed to threaten in maiden company. She may well figure in this, however, while both Beauchamp Opal and Bonnie Arlene have been placed over shorter trips this year and Log Off won over a mile at Southwell earlier. But MONEYORYOURLIFE is preferred as Richard Hannon’s colt was only narrowly beaten over today’s distance at Lingfield last month.
