Verdict

The Cookstown Cafu has placed over track and trip in the past but Piastrella is proving best at Beverley and placed at the latter track last month. MASTER RICHARD was beaten only a nose over today’s trip at Doncaster in between moderate efforts over further and Ann Duffield’s charge gets another chance. International Boy has yet to win in 14 starts but Beautiful Surprise and Jazz Samba are unexposed and make their handicap debuts.
