Verdict

The History Man can put a recent defeat to rest by beating Always Baileys, with Bowland Boy and Bond Angel Eyes ones to note in the market. The market last time suggested that the time was right to back The History Man who was sent off as favourite at Catterick on the strength of two earlier promising efforts. However, Mick Easterby's charge could only finish third to She's Our Beauty after fading near the finish, and was not helped by the cut in the ground. The faster conditions here, plus the fact that he will have strengthened up a bit more, can help him to get the losses back. Strictly on Musselburgh form, he has nothing in hand of Bowland Boy, but Alan Berry's inmate did not show any improvement on a return to the Scottish track, so is passed over. Bond Angel Eyes is worth noting as she is entered in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy later this year, and her stable had a juvenile winner on Thursday, but we shall stay loyal to The History Man.
