        In depth

        Verdict

        Frankenstella showed further improvement stepped up to 2m at Beverley when finishing ahead of Boulevard Beauty and disappointing favourite Single. Blue Beirut is still 0-12 but has placed at Chelmsford and Bath this year and this marathon trip could be just what he needs. Dual hurdles winner LADY SHANAWELL wasn’t suited by the way the race was run when favourite at Musselburgh. She’d gone close at Pontefract earlier and this longer trip will surely be in her favour.
