In depth
Verdict
Chase The Wind was confidently ridden by Becky Smith at Uttoxeter to take advantage of a lenient mark. He is still well treated on past form with Tom Midgley tasked with producing the goods today. But this looks a bit more competitive and SPIRIT OF HALE has been knocking on the door, though is creeping up the weights again. Going Mobile is struggling form form but Bonanza Sam profited from first-time blinkers to grab a first success at Exeter and should be thereabouts again if the headgear works a second time.
