Verdict
THREE MACKS took another step forward at Market Rasen two weeks ago in a race in which Princess Poppy was pulled up. The four-year-old looks the answer to this with her weight-for-age allowance. Blue Clover, placed three times in bumpers last year, may do better now switched to hurdles and Lady Gwen was runner-up to the useful Ilovethenightlife at Ffos Las in the autumn, though hasn’t reproduced that effort in three runs since.
