Russian Rumour won an amateurs' race on soft ground at Bath while Evaporust was successful over 2m on the Polytrack here recently. Beat The Heat’s recent third came over 2m in testing going at Goodwood while Hiconic has rattled-up a four-timer in juvenile hurdle races since last seen on the Flat and has a shout if carrying over her improvement to this code. But FULBECK GIRL posted a much better effort when third over 1m5f at Bath on her handicap debut and Ian Williams’ filly is taken to open her account racing off the same mark today.
