Verdict
Exeter winner Karlie finished five lengths ahead of Becky The Boo in a better race that this at Newbury earlier in the month and is only a pound worse off but she may lack the scope of Irish import NEXTDOORTOALICE. Alex Hales’ recent acquisition has shown progress as she’s gained experience and can shrug off an absence.
