Piccostar can make experience count over She's Our Beauty, Christa Bee and Suhezy. Fledgeling trainer Andrew Haynes has quickly got off the mark in his first full season, and Piccostar sets the standard on her form so far. A decisive winner at Lingfield on her second start in April, she probably bettered that effort when fifth to Azygous in a conditions event over the same course and distance 12 days ago, and as long as she handles the switch from Polytrack to Turf, she should take the beating. She's Our Beauty ran very green on her Thirsk debut behind a subsequent winner, but improved to score at odds of 20-1 at Catterick next time. The ground was on the soft side that day though and she has more to do. Christa Bee made a winning start on the fibresand at Southwell, but is another that needs to step up a gear. Suhezy is a half-sister to prolific winning juvenile Tigress, but has yet to come to hand, so for the winner we return to Piccostar.
