Verdict
RAYNA'S WORLD, a dual Flat winner, earned a rating of 133 after a superb run at 100/1 in the Grade 2 Dawn Run at Cheltenham in March. She'll be expected to crack on in much stronger company than this over winter and can't be opposed. Southern Girl, a winning point-to-pointer, finished second of four on good ground at Perth in September and was in touch when unseating her rider in similar conditions on a return visit a couple of weeks later. Sidi Ismael made a promising reappearance at Kelso in October but didn't make the expected progress.
