Verdict
Relkadam finished tailed off when BOLSOVER BILL made all here last month. Warren Greatrex’s charge is 5lb higher today but a follow-up may be on the cards, though Sedgefield runner-up Elleon is improving with experience and Trac beat Monday’s winner William Cody at Huntingdon at the start of the month and has Emma’Smith-Chaston’s claim in his favour today.
