Admiral's Sunset won a mares’ only handicap over track and trip a fortnight ago and can race off a similar mark while Cougar Kid finished a close-up third here last week and is not out of this. William H Bonney has been competing in Pattern company since last winning a handicap in 2017 and has slid back down the weights while Mon Eldorado was still in contention when coming a cropper a couple of hurdles form home in novice company at Market Rasen back in April. But ZOFFANY BAY (NAP) was having only his second start over timber when landing a maiden hurdle at Plumpton earlier this month and Ali Stronge’s charge looks worth sticking with now handicapping.
