Catchthemoonlight beat Pretty Miss Mahler nine lengths at Hexham but then unseated Harry Reed at Uttoxeter. Kassis hasn't raced over hurdles since April of last year but has every chance at the weights. Lee Side Lady probably needed her run at Fakenham last month and is respected but MIDNIGHT GEM (NAP) is taken to add to her win at Huntingdon, despite an 8lb higher mark. She was always travelling best that day and the second has franked the form since.
