Verdict
Hollow Steel beat the re-opposing Bonita B a length at Thirsk to land a double though is 5lb higher today. Galileo Glass has a 7lb hike to contend with after scoring over a shorter trip at Doncaster on his handicap debut while Baby Bay also steps up in distance though drops down in class after struggling at Newmarket. But QUEEN’S HEIR has improved with every start in novice company and after placing over today’s trip at Doncaster, she gets the vote to make a winning start for new connections.
