Verdict
DARLING MISS (NAP) bolted up at Hexham last Saturday, following up another easy win at Perth. The drop in trip and double penalty are concerns here but she’s in such good form at present that a hat-trick looks on the cards. Cougar Kid is on a long losing run and is still 2lb higher than for his last win but gets on well with Brodie Hampson so has place claims again. Stolberg is 7lb out of the handicap and none of the others arrive in any kind of form.
