NINE ELMS (NAP), partnered by a 5lb claimer, won’t go down without a fight on his favourite track with ground conditions in his favour again. Hostelry has been very consistent and appears to have the beating of Distinction on Doncaster running. Time To Rumble got back to winning ways at Ayr last month while My Honey B has looked an improved filly the last twice and bids for the hat-trick. The testing going may not be ideal, however.
