In another poor affair, Kittylee, who is at least relatively unexposed, can prevail over Lord Alyn and Rayware Boy. Kittylee was very disappointing on the Flat, but showed enough ability at Stratford on just her second start over hurdles to warrant respect. Although beaten comfortably by Martin Pipe¿s My Sharp Grey, Mark Buckley¿s filly plugged on gamely and seems to like the winter game. Lord Alyn stuck to his task well when scoring in bumper company at Worcester in July, but did not impress on his hurdles debut and finished lame last time. Rayware Boy is fully exposed but does at least have winning form, both on the Flat and over timber to his name. He has certainly gone off the boil of late but a semblance of his past form would make him dangerous. The market will prove the best guide to the chance of Tony McCoy¿s mount Buz Kiri , but the rest are hard to fancy. A small investment on Kittylee is the suggestion.
