INVINCIBLE MISS is the obvious starting point and is preferred to Brer Rabbit and Crown Affair. Michael Wigham has been enjoying a good run of form and it would be no great surprise if his newly acquired filly were to prove better than she's shown to date. There was plenty to like about her debut for this yard, her initial mark appears to be fair and Paul Hanagan has a hundred per cent record for the yard in recent seasons. Brer Rabbit has improved for the switch to handicap company and has made the frame on her last two starts but she is climbing the weights in defeat. Crown Affair was held in a claimer last time but faced a stiff enough task that day and may be more competitive back in this company but Autumn Morning and Thewaytosanjose boast more solid credentials. David Evans' runner may be held by the handicapper though and Sylvester Kirk's posted a below par performance and Invincible Miss could prove too strong for the pair if finding the expected improvement.
