In depth
Verdict
Killane and Rickety Gate failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time having won on their penultimate outings, though the latter was hampered and shouldn’t be written off just yet. That's Your Lottie posted her best effort so far when runner-up over a shorter trip here while Go Bob Go has been thereabouts over track and trip without looking like getting his head in front. AAZZA won a novices' race at Hexham before beaten in heavy going under a penalty but, with improvement on the cards now handicapping, Rose Dobbin’s mare may prove the one to side with.
