In depth

Verdict

Someone Exciting finished ahead of Coastal Drive, Gilmer and Searanger when runner-up over track and trip on her penultimate start while Gift In Time could only manage fourth in a similar seller here last month. It was soft going when Cupid's Arrow won at Redcar in November and Brockey Rise only won a selling race at Wolverhampton back in April while PARION never figured in a tougher seller than this at Beverley last time. But the return to 6f and faster ground will suit Richard Fahey’s filly and she has more scope for improvement than most of these.
