HOPE IS HIGH would prefer some give in the ground as she won a much better race than this when completing a hat-trick over the trip at Yarmouth last September when the ground was soft. However, she's on the same mark so may be good enough though The Resdev Way is the only other distance winner having beaten today's rival Sellingallthetime at Redcar. The winner is better off at the weights and can confirm the form while winning hurdler Mitcd found 1m3f an insufficient test at Carlisle and will find this more to her liking. Searching was behind in that latter event but is another who will be suited by this stiffer test but neither Swansway nor Careyanne have raced over a trip this far.
