Wednesday’s school report:
A couple of MMA winners at 7/1 (SP: 3/1) and 11/8 (3/1) kept the wolf from the door, notwithstanding a non runner. There was also the little matter of a 20/1 winner (via the in form trainer list) for Rebecca Bastiman (Now 3/5 + 44) who is worth looking out for when she has her next (intended) runners on Monday.
