Midnight Glory is a half-sister to three winning jumpers but Richard Johnson is sticking with Kahaleesi, even though the Shirocco filly disappointed when an odds-on market leader at Ludlow in January. Jessica Harrington has sent over Katy P and she's another interesting newcomer while Tara View is probably better than she showed on her debut at Newbury when easy to back. MERIBEL MILLIE ran green on her debut at Doncaster in November but kept finding to repel all challengers. She should know more today and can improve past stablemate Water Willow and Westerbee, who also carries a penalty. Dalton Glance is a likely improver and a market move for Hitherjacques Lady would be interesting.
