Lingfield runner-up Strike Hollow fell at the first next time at Bangor. That was probably only a blip but PARIS DIXIE was taking on decent opposition at Wincanton after earlier finishing second over this track and trip. The latter has solid claims today if wind surgery has produced the desired effect. Champagne Rhythm is beginning to run out of excuses having found at least one too good in his four runs to date over timber, three of them here, but he’s likely to be in the firing-line again. Red Lion Lad has the beating of Sixty Dollars More but, like Gulliver Collonges, needs to bounce back from a poor effort last time.
