Verdict

Birkenhead failed to land the odds here last time having won at Beverley before that with Hovingham well beaten. But GIN GEMBRE was beaten only a short-head at the same Beverley meeting last month with Nostalgic Air well behind and Karl Burke’s colt gets another chance in this. Paper Star never threatened the winner when runner-up at Brighton on her debut but could figure with normal progress while Queens Blade is a sister to a winning two-year-old and a half-sister to others and makes more appeal than Three Coins and Ossco of the newcomers.
