        Verdict

        Having got off the mark at the 22nd time of asking, Hansomis has shown that she is a progressive animal in two runs since and cannot be ignored, however a further rise in the weights may see her struggle and so we will side instead with BLOW YOUR MIND ahead of Ingleby Princess and Howards Tipple. The selection wasn't able to pick up on soft ground at Musselburgh when last seen, but is better judged on two fast-ground efforts last June and July. The run at York behind Angelzarke has been franked and with the step back up to six furlongs not expected to cause any problems, he is fancied to win his first race. Flying Applause and Howards Tipple have been holding their form well, whilst Ingleby Princess is a course and distance winner who finish ahead of Howards Tipple last time. Optical Illusion needs to bounce back to form after a lacklustre effort at Carlisle however a return to this track may suit and the stable are in very good nick. The market may help provide a couple of further clues however it is Karen McLintock's runner who can Blow Your Mind.
