Hello Beautiful ran no sort of race when favourite at Ripon having gone close at Pontefract on her debut. She'll figure if back to that sort of form and Lord Clyde should also finish closer after a well beaten third in the Brocklesby at Doncaster in March. Lady Montenegro and Gerdani have plenty of improving to do to figure but both newcomers are worth noting especially RACE HUNTER. David Barron has chosen a low key introduction for his 160,000 dollar filly and she gets the vote ahead of fellow debutant Think Again.
