In depth

Verdict

It took Hyland Heather 11 attempts to finally win a maiden race but she can race off the same mark as when scoring at Redcar in September. Diamond Lady is not badly treated if back to her best and the same can be said of PRIMROSE VALLEY. She was winning off a 14lb higher mark last year and showed some signs of a resurgence at Chelmsford last time when not beaten far in seventh despite not getting a clear run. Loveatfirstsight may do better now handicapping while Himalayan Queen and Evening Starlight have both won lower grade sprints on the all-weather this year.
