Verdict

HEREBY looks well-handicapped after her Chester win last time out was franked in good fashion by the runner-up and she could be hard to beat with the likelihood of plenty more to come. Dance King is very well-handicapped on old form and showed signs of a revival last time while Elysian Flame may have needed the run here last week; he may do better.
  1. Hereby
