Not a strong start to the card, and a race in which Brandy Station would have reasonable claims if able to boss his rivals from the front end as he did at Pontefract in May. However, he's been fairly dire since, so the percentage call has to be the far less exposed DEBAWTRY. Her Beverley debut was a pleasing one, and with natural progression assumed, she's the pick of the two David O'Meara trained fillies.
