Evolicatt won a maiden and two claimers in her first season but failed to place in three runs in handicaps. Coral Reef is making her handicap debut and should be thereabouts but Greavsie’s best form has come over further. Burena ran well here in November, however, and still has some scope but BETTERMENT can be forgiven her run at Southwell last month as she became upset in the stalls. Earlier thirds at Chelmsford and Lingfield would give her every chance in this company.
