Verdict
Rajinsky is a very solid staying handicapper but Nicky Henderson’s mare AHORSEWITHNONAME (NAP) could be thrown in on her Flat debut. A bumper winner, she is yet to win over hurdles but has been very highly tried and was second in a Grade 1 at Cheltenham last month. Auriferous finished second at Kempton just over three weeks ago and finished ahead of Imperium, Justus and Hiroshima in the process but Master Milliner is having a first run since completing a double at York in September with Inchicore also lacking a recent outing.
