OUR KYLIE (NAP) is only four and was having her first start for the in-form Brian Ellison when successful at Carlisle last month. She's been hit with an 11lb rise and will find this tougher but, with further progress likely, can go in again. Burtons Well was beaten at long odds-on in a novices' event at Carlisle and has plenty of weight on his handicap bow but Market Rasen winner Herons Heir bounced back from a poor run at Fontwell when a close second at Ludlow. The selection's stablemate It's A Mans World last won over a year ago and that was only a seller while Brave Spartacus, a Listed winner over fences at Market Rasen last summer, has failed to take advantage of a much lower hurdles mark in recent starts.
