EMMA LAMB was heavily supported at Sedgefield but was well beaten, as she was on her next start here. She then finished nine lengths behind the winner at Taunton though was conceding 17lb and can go one better. Shadow's Girl, a winner at Chepstow in November, made too many mistakes when attracting support on heavy going at Plumpton and will need to brush up her jumping. Percy Prosecco has been running on the Flat without showing much but he's managed to win five races, the last two under Brodie Hampson. Local Affair has shown her best form on quick ground so wouldn't want more rain nor would the front-running Midnight Jitterbug.
