Verdict
WILD POLLY is penalised but won nicely at Ayr on her reappearance when giving the impression there was plenty more to come. Bourbon Beauty was no match for the winner when second at Warwick but has the edge on these terms over Southern Girl, who found the odds-on favourite at Hexham much too good but can figure in this company. Blue Hawaii won a bumper at Musselburgh on her comeback and is related to a winner over hurdles while point-to-point winner Melanamix debuts under Rules.
