Verdict

Neighbother was tried in Listed company at Epsom but having failed to fire on his most recent visit to York, he is not without risk. Innocently has continued to operate with a high degree of consistency and can go close but HELLO BEAUTIFUL looks the one to be on. Ann Duffield's charge didn't have the clearest of runs on her previous visit to York though she'd won previously at Ripon in taking fashion and is off what appears to be a sensible mark at present. Baytown Kestrel showed plenty of speed on that occasion and Phil McEntree elects to use a hood in order to glean further improvement. Simply Black was unsuccessful in an attempt to give weight away to Oasis Town at Carlisle but that may have been a hopeless task in hindsight as Kevin Ryan's filly has subsequently gone on to be placed in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury.
