Verdict

Light Flicker won at Market Rasen last month but never threatened off today’s higher mark last time. It remains to be seen if DALKINGSTOWN fares any better raised 7lb after scoring over course and distance but Peter Bowen’s charge won with a bit to spare on that occasion and drops down a grade. Tanora went close over hurdles at Catterick and makes most appeal of the remainder having only her second outing over fences.
