Verdict

Athmad has been in the mix recently looking for his first win since 2018 while Bell Heather scored at Wolverhampton before placing at Chester. Trumpets Call posted a better effort over 7f here last time but Cwynar failed when bidding for a hat-trick off today’s mark. Rudaina has scope for improvement but so does CELESTIAL BLISS, who placed at Hamilton on her handicap debut and may well improve on her second start after wind surgery.
