Verdict
Hijran won over track and trip earlier in the month but was only third at Catterick on Wednesday off her new mark. Bonhomie won a maiden handicap on Tapeta last month but was well behind Ubla on Polytrack subsequently. However, Gay Kelleway's gelding has shown nothing so far on Turf while Pickett's Charge may need some help from the handicapper before getting his head back in front. The trip is an unknown but MON BEAU VISAGE showed some signs of life last time at Pontefract and will have Josh Doyle's claim in his favour. He could cap a memorable day for followers of David O'Meara's stable.
