Verdict
Sharp Combo was well beaten here before finishing runner-up at Windsor while Hilts ran no sort of race at Doncaster when bidding for a hat-trick. Codswallop won a lower grade contest at Nottingham and steps up in trip but ECHO CHAMBER scored over today’s distance at Leicester on her handicap debut. A 3lb rise is negated by Laura Pearson’s allowance and she can go in again. Go Beyond has something to find with the selection while Tuddenham Green and Soulcombe make most appeal of those handicapping for the first time.
