Verdict
ANIMATO just missed out in a tight finish when upped to today’s trip at Beverley and looks capable of further progress over the distance. Rich King is a similar type to the selection and finished ahead of Signorina Merisi when runner-up at Redcar while Grifter is upped in trip after placing over a mile at the latter track. Tamilla drops down in trip and makes her handicap debut along with while Bruno's Gold.
