Verdict
JANESLITTLEVOICE was very game in holding off Frankie Faulkner on heavy going at Newton Abbot and she may well grind out another victory here raised only a pound. Conditions may be too testing for Tommydan and also Lights Are Green while Eveque lacks a recent run and West Lawn has become disappointing.
