DEFINITE WINNER’s performance at Wincanton was a bolt out of the blue but it seems a wise decision to run her under a penalty and she’ll take all the beating if reproducing that form. Bonza Girl was also an easy winner recently, at Fontwell, and the pair could dominate with Mrs Burbidge possibly best of the rest after a narrow defeat over course and distance two weeks ago. Dont Be Robin was last at Hereford on her return to action but she probably needed that run and has each-way claims on last season’s form.
