BRUNTON BLUE thumped Sedgefield winner Ironically by eight lengths at Market Rasen 10 days ago. She gets 18lb from the diminutive Cevaro, who is struggling to make an impact over hurdles, and can defy a 10lb rise in the weights. Osmosia looks too high in the weights while the market will be the best guide to the chances of the returning Ninfea and On The Off Chance. Grimley Girl was placed in novice events at Ludlow and Doncaster last season but recent efforts haven't offered much encouragement.
