Verdict

Fox Flame won at Southwell when Kehlani and Spring Glow filled the places though had earlier been beaten by Turner Girl at Newcastle. BRORA BREEZE (NAP) was having her first start since January when landing a novices race at Chepstow and there should be more to come over this longer trip on her handicap debut. Mellow Mood has been in the mix over further recently while Third Batch won on soft going here in July.
