Verdict

Call The Fairies is rated 107 but she is fully exposed and was a disappointing favourite at Worcester on her reappearance. Gerritzen was tailed off on her hurdles bow at Market Rasen while Luna Dora may need more time. TOUGHASOLDBOOTS is having a first run under Rules but has placed in a point and she is Brian Hughes only ride at the meeting.
