Verdict

There didn’t appear to be any fluke about BETTY BALOO’s Southwell victory, despite her generous SP, and Tom Midgley’s claim takes care of the penalty. Mourne Lass could be interesting from a yard that has had a few bumper winners in the country while Fitsaoha is bred to be above average and William Bethell is already making a name for himself since joining the training ranks.
