Verdict

The Tim Easterby yard have won this nursery twice in the last four years and FAVOURITE GIRL is the pick to enhance than record. Proven in testing ground conditions, she showed good pace and battling qualities to win at Haydock last time. Mel Brittain's juveniles have been a credit to him right throughout the season but Polish Pride has been hit with a 13lb rise for a Haydock victory which sets her a very stiff task. Carnaby Haggerston continually shaped as one that would appreciate the step up to six furlongs in his maidens. A winner at Hamilton on his penultimate start, he looked to have been left in front for too long last time. River Rye has not progressed from the promise displayed earlier in her career.
