In this very competitive end to proceeding the unexposed HYSTERICAL LADY has the marginal preference ahead of Titus Andronicus and Where's Reiley. This represents the selections handicap debut and the assessor seems to have allotted the filly a fair mark. A winner of a Southwell maiden last time her form from her debut run looks good and proves she'll go well on this ground. Titus Andronicus finally dumped the maidens tag last time out in weakish race over distance at Catterick. Previous to that he'd run with credit in some better handicaps and his mark looks competitive. Where's Reiley and Dispol Grand's best has either come on fibresand on ground with some cut in it so this racing surface looks a little quick. Not the easiest race to finish off with then but Hysterical Lady could have you laughing all the way to the bank.
