Verdict

Ballybough Nora has twice had a rear view of Kapga De Lily recently but the weights favour Jeremy Scott’s mare today and Overawed looks held on the form book. NO NO JULIET wasn’t far behind the first two named at Hereford when conceding weight and something was clearly amiss next time at Wetherby. Fergal O’Brien’s charge could be the answer to this if she is back on song. Annie Day was an eye-catcher over a trip too short at Catterick and is a certain improver given her pointing background.
