Verdict

Andapa had no real excuses when a beaten favourite at Uttoxeter last month but HOWDILYOUDO can be forgiven her latest run at the same track when she appeared to be distracted approaching the final flight and crashed through the rails. She’s been taking on better company in general. Saywhatyouwant is making her handicap debut after winning a Cartmel maiden but Fire Lake is in fine form and Bradley Harris’ claim takes care of a 4lb rise in the weights.
