Verdict
Don Valentino posed a better effort when third at Redcar and further progress is expected but the same can be said of JESSINAMILLION. James Bethell’s charge was beaten less than a length when placed at Pontefract on his latest start and may well improve past Parys Mountain, who sets the standard with a mark of 73. Souls In The Wind has shown nothing so far for new connections having finished second at Meydan early in the year but the newcomer Danny Mc D is related to three winners and is worth a second glance.
