Yorkshire Pirlo failed to figure when sent off favourite at Newcastle but Accrington Stanley placed at the same track last time. Both debut on this surface along with Lingfield runner-up Olivia Mary while Capla Dream looks no nearer winning. But VELOCISTAR posted her best effort by some way when scoring on last month’s Fibresand debut and Steph Hollinshead’s filly gets the vote on her return given her liking for the track.
