Verdict
Wise Hawk has had a couple of runs to blow away the cobwebs and should do better now. Un Bleu A L'Aam and Be Bop Boru are possible improvers now going handicapping and Just Spot was third off today's mark at Exeter earlier this month, but Flashy Star and Karl Marx look thoroughly exposed. DORRY K was easy to back at Warwick last week but kept on well to land the spoils. It's no surprise she's turned out again quickly as she avoids a penalty and should take all the beating.
