      Verdict

      The four to have seen a racecourse have all shown promise for the future making this a tricky puzzle to solve, especially with Smart Alec and Bajan Beauty returning for seasonal reappearances. In contrast. Pearl Princess and Thanks Harry have both enjoyed a recent run but the choice falls upon the aforementioned BAJAN BEAUTY. Charles Hills boasts a decent strike rate with his select number of runners at the Nottinghamshire track and his Footstepsinthesand filly contested better maidens than her rivals during her juvenile campaign, shaping with promise on each occasion. Pearl Princess has put together a couple of respectable efforts in the last month and is the obvious danger if taking to Fibresand effectively. The newcomer Glorious Star represents an in-form yard but has to give plenty of weight to the younger horses.
