Richard Johnson rides Lady Cylla, who was beaten under two lengths by stable companion VIA DELLE VOLTE at Doncaster off level weights in December. But the gap was much wider back at Town Moor 12 days ago and it’s difficult to see the top weight not coming out best again between that pair. Golden Image looks held on the form book but Miranda could be a useful recruit to the hurdling ranks given she won three times on the Flat in France last year up to 1m4f and has since joined Paul Nicholls.
