Verdict
This will take some getting in the conditions but Miss Molinari ploughed through the mud to land a course and distance handicap in January and, if ready after her long break, will take some beating. However, INVINCIBLE CAVE and Alka Step battled out a finish over 3m1f at Plumpton last week with the former just prevailing on the very testing ground. Nathan Brennan's claim keeps the initiative with the winner, who can defy a 7lb penalty. Corrie Lake, who was beaten 11 lengths into third, made a bad mistake around halfway and should finish closer. Winning bumper Milanstorm has disappointed over hurdles and is bred for chasing.
