FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Under the conditions of this race, there are no penalties for handicap victories which makes it a very suitable seasonal starting point for Pertemps Final heroine MRS MILNER. Paul Nolan’s mare was a revelation when easily beating The Bosses Oscar when last seen at Cheltenham in March and has a great chance at the weights. She won at last year’s Galway Festival after nearly five months off so should be primed to run close to her best. Darrens Hope won three times last term including a Grade 3 novice hurdle over course and distance but faces a stiff task on her seasonal bow under a 10lb penalty. The Getaway Star won twice here during the summer and has place claims along with stablemate Merry Doyenne, while Ally Cay ran a solid race when second at Killarney and is another with a chance of minor honours.
