Verdict
Undefined Beauty completed a double on good ground in the autumn but went up 10lb. She hasn't performed badly in her subsequent starts and found 2m5f taxing her stamina last time. Beyondtemptation was beaten a long way behind her at Sedgefield and though much better off at the weights and a winner over 2m4f here the following month she may struggle to reverse the places. MORNING WITH IVAN went up 9lb after completing a double over this course and distance in lower grade but produced an even better performance when beaten a neck in this class at Musselburgh. She has gone up another 4lb but looks the one to beat. The four-year-old Shee's Lucky has shown that there are races to be won with her and though this is a stiff task against older horses on her handicap debut she's not without a chance.
