      Verdict

      Country Carnival won a lower grade sprint at Doncaster having slid down the weights but Han Solo Berger came up short again back on the all-weather last time. Bellevarde has been beaten since getting the better of The Daley Express over track and trip with Saras Hope further behind and the runner-up may reverse running but preference is for FREE LOVE. The latter has been competing in tougher sprints than this and could well end a long losing run today dropping down in class with an apprentice’s 7lb allowance also helping her cause.
