Verdict
I Am Gonna Be’s second at Musselburgh received a boost when the winner followed up at Ayr. Fairy Gem won at Hereford two runs ago but was no match for ILOVETHENIGHTLIFE at Ffos Las in the autumn. The latter unseated her rider at Taunton last month but still has plenty of scope. Mrs Grimley also failed to complete last time but Moviddy won easily at Lingfield having finished ahead of Fairy Gem at Exeter before that.
