  • EASIER DAYS AHEAD FOR SANDY HEARTBEAT

    SANDY HEARTBEAT will be just the first juvenile Dean to run twice this season when she lines up in the 5.45 at Chelmsford tomorrow and the 25/1 shot has no easy task.

  • MIMRAM TO GO CLOSE

    MIMRAM is a warm favourite in the 5.45 at Lingfield today and should go close.
