Sir Lancelott only found one too good at Kempton recently while Cool Echo was thereabouts once again at Wolverhampton but still looking for that elusive first win. Betty Grable finished in front of fifth-placed Kavora when runner-up over a mile here having finished behind False Id over the same trip here before that but NUTOPIA posted a much better effort dropped down to this lowly level at Wolverhampton on her first start since June and Tony Brittain’s unexposed three-year-old gets the nod to come out best with further progress expected.
