Verdict

A cracking little race with all six having already won. MIGNOLINO was just over two lengths behind Ko Cache on his debut at Newcastle but has made the greater strides since and was impressive in beating a small-but-select field at York. He has a small penalty to carry but is taken to go in again. Prince Bonnaire showed the benefit of his opening run with a comfortable victory at Redcar and any further rain should aid his cause. After scoring over this track and trip, Vimy Ridge looked as though another furlong was required when staying on at Beverley but Don't Tell Annie has to be of interest as she wasn't at her best in a Listed contest at York after scoring comfortably at Pontefract. Diamond Creek did very well to make all at Beverley as she still looked inexperienced so she looks certain to have come on for the run.
