Miss M completed a double at Southwell last summer but was already beaten when falling at the last here recently. Tonyx landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Sedgefield but faces stiffer opposition in this but Ordered Lives won nicely at Ludlow and a conditional’s allowance negates most of today’s penalty. MONETE finished well behind the latter on her hurdling debut but showed a big improvement when third over track and trip last time. Any further progress should see Nick Mitchell’s grey filly in the mix if making the most of today’s weight concessions.
