Already a Listed winner over fences, MIA’S STORM reverted to hurdles on last month’s reappearance and won a decent handicap at Uttoxeter. Alan King looks to have found a good opportunity in this given she’s clear at the weights of her nearest rival If You Say Run. The latter steps up in trip having been raised 9lb for winning at Wincanton recently but has the beating of Culture De Sivola on these terms, especially as the latter’s latest victories in handicaps have come on testing ground. Whatzdjazz came up well short in Listed company at Wetherby last time and connections will be hoping this extra distance brings improvement.
