Undisputed was only beaten a neck on her hurdling debut at Market Rasen and should be winning soon. What A Diva was second in a handicap at Exeter when stepping up in trip last time while Silent Steps changed hands for £70,000 after beating a subsequent hurdles winner between the flags at Liscarroll in March. STAR RIDER won over this trip on the Flat at Goodwood in July and was successful over 2m at Newmarket later. She'll take all the beating if transferring that ability to the winter game. Ellens Way went well for a long way on her debut under Rules at Warwick and is another interesting runner.
