A wide-open handicap, though Mrs Burbidge was beaten out of sight behind Stoical Patient at Fontwell when last seen over fences. That was in September of last year, however, and Gary Moore's charge hasn't raced since. Pretty Reckless showed a good attitude to score at Warwick and should again beat subsequent Bangor second Drumlang having only been raised 3lb. Orchestrated won at Fontwell earlier this month and Money For Nothing is edging closer but REMEMBER FOREVER came good in the spring and could complete the hat-trick if the going doesn't prove too soft.
