Verdict
Petticoat Lucy’s fourth at Exeter should have blown away a few cobwebs and Heure De Gloire has been dropped a further pound even though she is pretty consistent. But the vote goes to GRIVETANA, second twice here last month including in the Grade 3 Gerry Fielden last time. Amelia’s Dance arrives off the back of a win at Taunton but is something of a specialist on the west country track and she was behind Midnight Ginger at Wincanton earlier.
