Emma Lavelle sent out last year’s winner but Freedom Run was only modest in bumpers. Outofthisworld won a Market Rasen maiden last month but, like Rubenesque, will not find it easy to defy a penalty. Queen's Magic was disappointing when odds-on at Uttoxeter and is in danger of becoming disappointing while Falcon Cliffs failed to in on Turf on the Flat, though did score on the all-weather. MIDNIGHTREFERENDUM made her hurdling debut in what looked a hot contest at Chepstow. She didn’t quite get home off a strong pace but will strip fitter and know more today.
