In depth
Verdict
HELLO ME looked above average when scoring by over four lengths at Wolverhampton on her debut. A penalty may not prevent Joseph Parr’s filly from going in again. Escape looks a likely improver but Richard Hannon also runs the newcomer Lexington Fury, a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather. The latter comment also applies to 145,000gns purchase Won Love while Red Mirage is out of a Listed sprinter and preferred to Highest Ambition.
