Train Hill had a good chance in the 4.30 Southwell yesterday. Bestiarius is fairly consistent but is now 0-14 over timber. Truckin With Paddy requires improvement but Great Raffles showed a bit more over shorter here last time, though it’s difficult to get away from the in-form MALINAS ISLAND. Neil Mulholland’s gelding has two wins and two seconds from his last four runs, his latest victory coming over this track and trip. Fitz In may be capable of better but R Bernard is only moderate and Veshenskaya is even more exposed.
