In the seller, Goodbye Girl gets the call over Solo Star, Olivair and Norman Beckett. Goodbye Girl benefited from the step up in trip and down in grade to win at Yarmouth last time and she should run well again. You can say the same about Solo Star and she too looks set to go well and build on her Redcar win. It's a question of which form you rate the stronger and, for us, we will side with Goodbye Girl. Olivair's third to Solo Star at Redcar last time brings her into the equation as she is six pounds better off for two-and-a-quarter lengths, while Norman Beckett has shown enough in non-selling company to make him a danger to all dropping to this grade. Happy Harry's run behind Song Huntress last time received a boost during the week, but the form looks modest, while Sweetly Sharp has already been beaten in sellers. This brings us back to the selection, which is Goodbye Girl.
