    In depth

    Verdict

    La Hoofon looks outclassed and Tolah makes a belated debut so it looks sensible to focus on the pair with form and experience. Kelly's Finest has filled the minor placing in Ripon and Thirsk handicaps the last twice and is solid but exposed whereas TWITCH (NAP) has shown useful form in fair maiden company and should be suited by the step-up to a mile and a half. She also appeals as housing greater potential than the Bethell charge and can shed her maiden tag for the Hugo Palmer yard which remains in consistently good form.
