Verdict

BA NA HILLS appeals as the type who could stay ahead of the handicapper for a little longer upped in trip so John Quinn's charge is taken to escalate his form up a notch and make a winning start on the turf. Last week's Redcar-scorer Autumn Festival rates an obvious danger and he's capable of better having started from such a lowly handicap mark.
