MISS FERNEY has the matter of a penalty to overcome but as a mare in form, her case cannot be ignored and she looks to have been found a solid opportunity to follow up a recent Musselburgh success. Simple Jim has proved a reliable old stick for connections so it was something of a surprise when a gamble aboard him at Doncaster yielded no fruit. Andorn has improved significantly on the flat and it would be a brave man that would suggest that Phil Kirby cannot engineer more improvement from this plating class performer between the sticks. Wilf Storey has had a couple of welcome winners of late so Knock Three Times is respected at the likely odds of reward. Zefooha looks a banker for the each-way backers.
