Verdict
CATS EYES is up another 7lb in a bid for her hat-trick but she left it late to get her head in front at Nottingham last time and won more cosily than the narrow winning margin suggests. Robert Cowell's filly is just preferred to the less-exposed Lupin Pooter, who made it two wins from three starts when scoring at Ayr last month, but the winning run of Laura's Bairn came to end off today's mark at Sandown a week ago. Millibar finally opened her account in a Bath maiden last time but Ring For Baileys looks more likely to make the frame.
