Formscan - BATWOMEN proved she was no joker in the pack when making a successful handicap debut at Fontwell last month. A subsequent 5lb rise shouldn't prevent the unexposed mare from mounting another stern challenge and she gets the vote over Perth scorer Scarlet O'Tara. Midnightreflection had been in better form prior to landing this under Charlie Case 12 months ago, but given that she is now 8lb below that mark it would be unwise to rule her out.
