Hartside, thrown in on his best form, hasn’t been beaten far in any of his last three runs and will be fancied to take advantage of this drop in grade. Flow With Eve only found a stablemate too good on her first run for Olly Murphy but she’s a long-standing maiden who may not have much scope for improvement. It was heavy going when Chatelier appeared to show some improvement at Uttoxeter and THUNDERING HOME may be more effective on this surface. Richard Mitchell’s veteran grey is now 12lb lower than his last winning mark and the presence of James Bowen in the saddle suggest connections mean business today. Teescomponents Max turned in a shocker last time at Sedgefield and is now 0-16.
