Hurricane Hen seemed to have plenty in hand when completing the hat-trick recently and whilst this is a tougher race, she is fancied to win again at the main expense of Wynberg, Filemot and Enodoc. David Evans does well with horses he picks up and Hurricane Hen has every chance today. She seems fairly straight-forward and whilst this is a step up from selling company, a penalty may not be enough to stop this filly who is evidently on very good terms with herself. Enodoc is the big danger; Willie Muir's gelding displayed a good attiude to fend off late challengers at Brighton and just a one pound rise could underestimate him. Glenveagh hasn't been given a tough mark for his handicap bow, whilst the same applies to Filemot. Wynberg is not without a chance but he probably needs his handicap mark to drop by a few more pounds, whilst Mac Dalia and Town And Gown both have bits and pieces of form that put them firmly in the mix. At a price The Magic Blanket could run well, however it is Hurricane Hen who tops the pecking order.
