Verdict
HOSTESS wasn’t beaten that far when only fifth at Newmarket on her debut and the fourth-placed horse has subsequently won. She’s just preferred to last month’s Kempton runner-up Romola on that form. The others with experience make no appeal but a couple of newcomers are worth keeping an eye on with Asaatier, a 300,000gns first foal of a North American Grade 1 winner, preferred to the William Haggas’ representative Night Secret.
