Verdict

The hat-trick beckons for GREEN SKY, who escapes a penalty for her recent York success and is 7 lb well-in. Koala Rose needs more now entering handicaps but is in excellent hands and her useful pedigree remains an ongoing recommendation.

2	Made it 2 wins from as many starts for current yard in 10-runner handicap at York (1½m, good to firm) last week, drawing clear final 1f. Unpenalised for that success and 7 lb well-in, so the hat-trick beckons. 1st Pick 2 Green Sky (Ire) Jockey: Oisin Murphy Trainer: Rod Millman J: Oisin Murphy T: Rod Millman	100	-	-	-	40%	3/2

3	Improved on debut form after 5 months off when third at Newmarket (1½m) in May and ran to a similar level when finding only one too good at Goodwood (1¾m, good to firm) 4 weeks ago, clear of rest. More needed now handicapping but that's feasible given her useful pedigree. 2nd Pick 3 Koala Rose (Ire) Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Ralph Beckett J: Rossa Ryan T: Ralph Beckett	89	-	-	-	36%	9/5

4	Off the mark taking on her elders for the first time at Wolverhampton (1½m) in May, doing well given she raced freely. A bit underwhelming at Ffos Las next time but quickly back on the scoresheet upped to 1¾m in 4-runner event at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Up in grade but further progress possible. 3rd Pick 4 Kelly Burn Jockey: Non Runner Trainer: James Fanshawe J: Non Runner T: James Fanshawe	92	-	-	-	20%	Scratched
