Verdict

Bletchley Storm found only one too good making her Turf debut on soft going at Nottingham but TWILIGHT GUEST has also shown a liking for ground with some give and, despite having a first run away from Yarmouth, could finally come good with cheekpieces added. Sparks Fly should confirm last week’s course and distance running with Greavsie, despite a penalty, and can’t be left out of calculations but Angel Of Antrim lacks a run this term.
