Verdict
Little Millie had every chance when placed again at Hereford on Tuesday but Wayne Hutchinson is keeping faith and blinkers could help. Transpennine Star is proving equally frustrating but a step back up in trip is probably a plus. Dovils Date was better at Southwell at the start of the month and it may be soon to give up on Moonlight Dancer, though she was pulled up over course and distance in December. MASTER TRADESMAN hasn’t progressed this season but he’s dropped to a potentially-lenient mark and was running well around this time last year. In a race in which most have something to prove, he could be the value alternative.
