Verdict

Miss Hollybell is taken to go one better this time around and win on her second outing at the expense of the newcomers Caressing and Missile Dodger. The selection caught the eye when second to Aspin Darling on her debut at Warwick. She ran a little green that day and was not totally in love with the soft ground conditions. With everything in her favour this time around she can put that experience to good use to break her maiden tag. Both Caressing and Missile Dodger come from yards that have a great strike rate of producing first time out two year old winners so both are given respect but the market will be the best guide as to their chances. So with that in mind we return to Miss Hollybell as our selection.
