Olly Murphy runs two in this with Aidan Coleman riding Stratford third Knight Commander. But Undefined Beauty will have benefited from her run at Cartmel and gets on well with Fergus Gregory. Lucky Robin has gone up 10lb for winning here at the start of the month and is upped in grade tonight. It is almost three years since HANDSOME DAN was last in the winner’s enclosure but he has a cracking record around here and has slipped further down the weights since last seen. He could be a bit of value with Richard Patrick taking off a further 5lb.
