Verdict

MAY BLOSSOM (NAP) seems versatile as regards the ground and won a shade cosily over track and trip last time. David O’Meara’s filly is preferred to Pontefract runner-up Rambuso Creek though Kape Moss faced a tougher task at York when ahead of Show Me Show Me. The latter went on to finish fourth in the Catterick Dash while Faustus is another dropping down in class but So Smart’s recent placed efforts have been in lower grade sprints.
