Verdict

TIFFANY produced her most convincing win so far when landing a hat-trick with a recent victory at Newcastle. She escapes a penalty for that success and is preferred to Freak Out. The latter has notched-up a double at Beverley since cheekpieces were reapplied while Tim Easterby has sent out the last three winners of this so Pontefract third Highwaygrey has to come into the reckoning. Western Beat and the unexposed Beautifulasalways look best of the rest.
