Verdict
KRISTAL HART followed a win at Stratford with a victory at Warwick and has been raised a further 4lb. But she still looks the one to beat in her current form and the hat-trick beckons for Neil Mulholland’s mare. Boychick appears to be treading water of similar marks lately but a couple of these posted better efforts last time. That includes Maratt, who finished fourth here last month on his return from an absence while Wenceslaus was placed at Bangor and a conditional’s allowance helps his cause today.
