Verdict
Miss M won twice at Southwell around this time last year. She has found life tough so far this year but has come down the weights and may have been freshened up by a break. However, she still looks too close in the weights to SEA PRINCE (NAP), who may well have remained unbeaten over hurdles had he not unseated his rider at Southwell. The five-year-old won a Class 2 handicap at Cartmel in June having been successful on his hurdling debut over this track and trip. Lord Caprio is only a plater and the others have plenty to prove at present.
