In depth
Verdict
Second on good ground at Newmarket and Goodwood last month, Strawberry Hind bids to make it fourth-time lucky here but we’ll give another chance to HIDDEN SPELL. Karl Burke’s filly was only headed close home on good to soft at Pontefract before finding things happening too quickly over 5f on a faster surface at Hamilton. Jaaneh never threatened at Yarmouth but wasn’t given a hard time and better is expected. Poet's Lady is another likely improver while Brookside Banner is a half-sister to three winners. Esprit Rose cost 200,000gns and is out of a Pivotal mare so conditions shouldn’t be an issue and she looks a threat to all.
