In depth
Verdict
Ar Muin Na Muice is a mainstay of many ten-to-follows this term but Jonjo O'Neill's charge has plenty of questions to answer after she posted a below-par effort in bottomless ground at Carlisle. One moderate race doesn't make her a bad horse but if she hasn't recovered from a nasty fall, it may pay to look elsewhere. Supreme Attraction is put up as the most sensible option and we make her our TEAMtalk selection. She really caught the eye when landing her Warwick bumper last term and Noel Chance is a past master of turning out bumper performers into novice hurdle winners. At today's consitions - the top weight may have trouble in giving away that winning penalty. Madge Carroll arrives here fit from a recent run at Warwick and should be thereabouts. Compensation awaits for her in maiden company but any money here would be interesting. A point that similarly applies to Mayerling.
