WINDTOTHELIGHTNING kept on encouragingly at Doncaster and this afternoon’s step up in trip should suit. Nell's Bells has ran in some decent bumpers and the mare attempts to give away a penalty accrued for a fine effort at Wetherby. Brian Hughes should know all about Aubis Walk as the rider has been aboard her on all three starts under Rules with the latter a fall at Ayr. Jims Apple was supported on debut for James Ewart so she shouldn’t be totally dismissed from the reckoning.
