THE ORGANIST couldn't quite cope with the drop in distance at Leicester last time and surrendered her unbeaten record. But this test should be much more to her liking and she's taken to get the better of Yes I Did, who has the highest official rating and proven stamina but came up short when tried in this grade at Haydock in December. Hollies Pearl is an interesting runner as she didn't take to headgear last time at Fakenham. There is plenty of stamina in her pedigree and she remains a nice prospect. Briery Belle passed up an easier opportunity here yesterday to take her chance but has a bit to find on the form book while Minnie Milan has already had her limitations exposed and Samedi Soir is returning from a lay-off.
