Marienstar appeared to have a good chance yesterday at Hereford. Midnight Target wasn’t winning out of turn at Huntingdon and a year’s absence shouldn’t put anyone off the returning Golden Vision, who was a useful hurdler. On Demand has won three times over timber but never on ground this soft and Timeforwest continues to disappoint. SISTER SYBIL fell when favourite at Ludlow back in January but she’d run a couple of fair races here and at Doncaster previously and is probably worth another chance given she’s potentially well treated.
