Verdict
Hotline Bling was second string to the favourite Zoltan Star at Windsor but both were shocked by 150/1 chance Arbor Will. Richard Hannon's charge ran well enough while Honorah possibly found Beverley's 5f too stiff after finishing closer at Bath. WEE LOCH LASS made a bright debut on the former track last week, staying on nicely after being held up, and she can go one better. Jungle Bee has a speedy pedigree and Red Warning is a half-brother to four winning sprinters while the filly Totes Emosh is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two foals to race.
