LATENIGHTFUMBLE seemingly faces an uphill task against the likes of Gracchus de Balme and Jeffery's Cross on these terms. However, she's lightly-raced under Rules and displayed plenty of mettle when getting the better of a battle with Cullin Hills at Cheltenham last time, despite refusing to settle. If more tractable here she may well find the requisite improvement to get the better of the aforementioned duo.
