Lady Of The Night has won over hurdles and doesn’t look badly treated on her fencing bow – she has more scope than Desaray Girl. Wheesht has made the frame in both starts over the larger obstacles so far but Maid O'Malley has been frustrating to follow and gets no respite from the handicapper, though did finish second in a race at Newcastle last time in which Marta Des Mottes unseated her rider. SPOT ON SOPH (NAP) probably didn’t quite last home at Catterick on New Year’s Day having won over this trip earlier at the North Yorkshire track. She has only gone up 2lb and deserves a chance to recoup losses.
