Undefined Beauty beat STEPOVER (NAP) almost four lengths at Southwell last month and has won again since at Sedgefield. But she’s been raised another 10lb, meaning the latter is now 4lb better off, and may struggle to confirm the form with Alex Hales’ consistent mare. Apache Song beat a subsequent winner at Market Rasen in September and remains unexposed, though the handicapper has taken no chances. Miss Night Owl won three on the spin before running in a Listed race at Wetherby but soft going would not be ideal.
