      Verdict

      Things haven’t panned out for FLINT HILL on his regular forays over at Pontefract so a change of scenery may well work the oracle for Ruth Jefferson’s dual-purpose performer. Baileys Khelstar has won previously around Beverley over 1m4f and wasn’t stopping when doing so while Hellenista has been winless since June 2022 but Tim Easterby’s mare is respected now she sits 3lb below that last winning mark. Golden Keeper hasn’t been so easy to place off his current rating and connections elect to step him back up in trip.
