In depth
Verdict
Flying Romance looked unlucky when finding trouble in running over this trip at Chepstow earlier in the month and duly gained compensation in a slightly better heat than this at Salisbury. The David Evans-trained filly is taken to defy a subsequent 4lb rise and follow up under her useful apprentice. Red River Rebel continues to rise in the weights without winning but has place claims once again while it would be no surprise if Courtesy left her previous maiden form behind on her handicap bow.
