Verdict

It might be worth chancing Tom Ellis handicap newcomer HUCKLEBERRY STING, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Jaffa Cake and Kastellion are others who have the potential for better now handicapping for the first time. Heaven Smart is also respected back hurdling after some good efforts over fences since joining Laura Morgan.
