AHORSEWITHNONAME is impossible to oppose in an ordinary-looking mares’ maiden after she made a very promising start over hurdles in a Listed race at Newbury, staying on past some useful novices in the closing stages. Cup Of Coffee had every chance when falling at Catterick but may be in need of a confidence-booster. Gazette Bourgeoise has run a couple of decent races over obstacles so far so looks the one for forecast-backers.
