HELLO GIRL has a penalty for her win at Beverley on Wednesday but it’s probably worth sticking with Nigel Tinkler’s mare in what looks a very weak opener. Rangefield Express fared less well on the same track during the week but Dirchill is the only previous course winner in the line-up so could repay each-way support. Swell Song found only one too good at Wolverhampton nine days ago but has been generally frustrating to follow.
