Verdict

Hula Ballew, Ensign's Trick and Flying Valentino make most appeal in this fillies' handicap and the vote is given to Hula Ballew. The selection ran really well at Pontefract last time considering the ground was softer than ideal for her. She lost no caste in defeat behind Dispol Isle that day and with this faster ground in her favour today she looks to have rock solid claims. Ensign's Trick is another who arrives here in decent form and she chased home Zabeel Tower at Thirsk last time. However, that was over 7f and she is unproven over today's trip so for that reason we will take her on. Flying Valentino is another that has yet to win over this trip but she has gone close in the past and she should come on for her recent seasonal reappearance run at Hamilton. Len Lungo's Twilight Dawn looks the best of the others, but this looks a good opportunity for Hula Ballew who can resume winning ways.
