Verdict
Chosen Hero was a well-beaten favourite on her debut under Rules at Lingfield but recovered losses at Wetherby in decisive fashion when Hierachy was fourth and Brasingaman Bella caught the eye in fifth. Hierachy had earlier finished second behind subsequent Wetherby winner Lunar Discovery at Hexham. You Some Girl was third under a penalty at Haydock after winning at Catterick but it will be surprise if newcomer SHE’S A FINE WINE doesn’t attract market support in this. She’s the first foal to race of a Grade 3 winning hurdler who won three bumpers at the start of her career. Her yard is in form and boasts a fine strike-rate here with its bumper horses.
