ONEMIX might be able to improve past Stir On The Sea and land this contest, with Lucky Score rated best of the rest. Nicky Henderson's filly was a 70-plus rated flat performer and should be able to build on a satisfactory introduction to the winter game. Her well beaten fifth at Sandown doesn't look the strongest form on offer but that was on heavy ground and she should be seen in a much better light here. Stir On The Sea sets the standard on the pick of her efforts, notably when not far behind Triumph Hurdle fancy Pittoni over Christmas. She subsequently left Dessie Hughes to join Rebecca Curtis and after a decent first spin for the yard should go well once more, although she might prefer ground with more cut. Lucky Score was asked a stiff enough question on her hurdling debut but ran with credit behind the highly regarded Rougham, so this moderate flat performer does look to have some future and gets the vote for third ahead of Casual Style who needs to improve to land this. Arabian Silk has in excess of a stone to find just to beat Stir On The Sea if the ratings are correct, Halling Gal needs a market check but could've been found an easier starting point and Perception may require a sterner test of stamina. This fillies contest can go to Onemix should she draw the expected improvement from her Sandown debut.
