Verdict

A couple of these won over today’s distance at Hexham on their latest starts but Velasco’s success came on a faster surface back in June and SOLWAY PRIMROSE (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter scored on heavy going earlier this month and is taken to defy a 4lb rise on her second start after wind surgery. Dequall drops down a grade while So Many Roads has won on testing ground in the past though steps up in trip.
