Verdict
A competitive handicap but it was encouraging to see Countister win for the first time for Ben Haslam at Kelso. She carries a penalty but is still thrown in on her best form. JESSICA RABBIT was beaten almost three lengths by Isthebaropen at Bangor but is 5lb better off. She’s since placed again at Sedgefield and, though only 1-24, seems sure to be in the firing-line again. Present Storm is less exposed and has been knocking on the door at Worcester but Persuer is now 0-15 and Crystal Gazing was tailed off at Stratford last month and beaten a long way on her only previous run in a handicap.
