Verdict

Mirabello Bay won over today’s trip at Chelmsford while Little Roman scored over a mile at Kempton but neither figured last time. Third Batch steps up in trip with a shout in this lower grade and is preferred to Bruno The Red but this can go to FOX FLAME. The latter was unfancied in the betting on her handicap debut and first start since October but finished a respectable fourth at Wolverhampton and Charlie Johnston’s filly should be sharper today.
