Verdict
Pickamix and Saffron Wells are both two from two around here. The former looks the pick of that pair today at the weights but is giving 12lb to the hat-trick seeking NORTH HILL. Ian Williams’ charge is improving too quickly for the handicapper to keep up at present and should score again if handling a further step up in distance. Brian Boranha certainly wasn’t winning out of turn here last time but Popelys Gull is still struggling to get his head in front. Easter Day has plenty to do under top weight and Southport seems to have gone off the boil for now.
