She's Our Beauty is the pick over Henry Tun, Diamond Josh and Lady Hopeful in the finale. Shes Our Beauty got the better of her rivals in a blanket finish at Southwell last time, proving that she has some sort of a future after her time with Dandy Nichols for whom she was successful at Catterick off a mark of 71 last year. Not badly treated for this return to handicap company, the daughter of Imperial Ballet may be capable of following up. Henry Tun has gone off the boil of late but has won round here before, while Diamond Josh has first-time cheekpieces applied in a bid to shrug off his weight. Lady Hopeful is another that goes well here, and should be noted in the market with the stable showing signs of a revival. Of the remainder, Succeed has shown enough of late to warrant a small mention, but in a trick contest, we look to Shes Our Beauty as the one to be on.
