Verdict

Ballarina attempted to make all in better company at Haydock on Friday but came up well short. She may finish closer in this but MALTEASE AH gets the nod. A couple of outings on the all-weather last month should have put her spot on and Andrew Reid's filly is preferred to Welease Bwian, a runner-up at Yarmouth last month. Borough Boy ran well over track and trip in June and makes more appeal than Quality Art while Southwell winner Pull The Pin was engaged to run at Haydock yesterday.
