A dual winner at Sedgefield, Undefined Beauty failed to cope with a 10lb rise when third at Hereford though drops down a grade today. Marienstar was threatening to score before struggling at Plumpton last time but MOLLY CAREW went close at Lingfield on her latest start. She drops down in class for this with Harry Reed’s allowance in her favour and gets the nod. Undisputed won a maiden hurdle before finding one too good at Market Rasen and Royal Claret may finish closer now handicapping.
