Both of Thello’s recent wins came in selling company while Devious Spirit went close in a seller at Redcar in October. Whitchurch beat Bridey's Lettuce when scoring over 1m2f at Nottingham earlier but the latter was not beaten that far over 1m4f here last time. HIGHTIME GIRL was having her first start since July when placed over a mile here last month. She not certain to stay this extra distance but remains unexposed so gets a token vote in a low grade lottery.
