In depth

Verdict

Hatton Springs should go well again after winning at Ayr but Ellistrin Belle has turned-in poor efforts either side of scoring over track and trip with course regular Beyondtemptation not far behind in second. The latter may well reverse running today but the vote goes to FLEMERINA, who had little chance up against Bantam, rated 130, in a novice event at Southwell last time but may well figure for Sue Smith now handicapping. Kara Tara also faced tougher opposition in a maiden hurdle last time and could finish close in this.
