Verdict

Nigel Hawke generally does well when sending his runners north to places like Carlisle and Hexham, and he also has a 20% strike-rate at Perth (2-10). His mare THE BOOLA BEE will undoubtedly prove strong in the market escaping a penalty for Saturday's Conditional Jockeys' win at Warwick (3m). She needs to definitively prove that she can back up that form, but ought to be difficult to beat if doing so. Obvious alternatives would include the Nicky Richards-trained Petite Ganache and the returning good-ground specialist Dun Faw Good.
  1. The Boola Bee
  2. Dun Faw Good
  3. Petite Ganache
