In depth
Verdict
PATSY CLINE went close dropped in a novices handicap over a shorter trip at this track last month. The Irish import can open her account on only her second start for John Flint. Queen Of The West finished a creditable third on her hurdling bow at Uttoxeter and the points winner should appreciate today's longer trip. Courting Whitney has a penalty to overcome for her recent success at Worcester though she did come home a clear winner while Molly Oscar is one to note on her hurdling bow after fading quickly in the closing stages of a bumper at Southwell last month.
