Sunrise Ruby beat her half-sister Skin Deep, a subsequent hurdles winner, in a Southwell bumper last June but faces no easy task on her jumping debut. Legends Gold chased home a subsequent winner at Ludlow on her hurdles bow and will know more today but we’ll stick with MIDNIGHTREFERENDUM, who travelled strongly and showed a fine turn of foot to beat the odds-on Outofthisworld at Fontwell and should continue on an upward curve. Our Dot's Baby and We'llcwhathappens add to the interest but Kentford Mallard looks up against it again.
