MISS MIRACLE won a Bath maiden on the Flat for Clive Cox and Jonjo O'Neill is wasting no time putting her into handicaps over hurdles, after the statutory three runs in novice company. The Motivator filly has already shown some promise and should prove hard to beat up against much more exposed rivals. Present Your Case was second at Leicester last time but her best form is over longer distances, while it's more than two years since Sonic Anthem last occupied the winner's enclosure. Nouailhas stepped out of selling company to finish third at Hereford but she's now had 15 runs under rules without really threatening to get her head in front.
