Verdict
Nicky Henderson looks to have found another opportunity for AHORSEWITHNONAME. A winning bumper and dual novice winner over 1m4f in 2019, she was beaten a head in the Grade 2 Dawn Run Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham before reverting to the Flat and landing a Class 2 handicap at Newbury. She's up 6lb but down a grade and can complete a double. Caldwell is up 8lb for an easy victory in a Class 5 handicap at Kempton and a bigger threat looks to be Master Milliner, who completed a double in course and distance handicaps last September and pulled much too hard in the selection's race at Newbury. Inca Prince won three times over hurdles during the winter though needs more rain but Frankenstella has won over the course and distance on good ground.
