HOURI, representing the Look Here stable of Ralph Beckett, came to Nottingham with a regressive profile, but things look a lot better for her after she battled her way to a first career success. She was off the bridle three furlongs from home, but she stuck to her task and went through a narrow gap to get her head in front.
Stormy View was not embarrassed on her Goodwood introduction and she offered hope of a future win with a decent second, one place ahead of Gingham, who stayed on into the lead only to be collared twice over in the final stages of the race.
Alseraaj began the season in a hot maiden at the Craven meeting but she now looks decidedly ordinary and was unable to offer anything resembling a turn of foot against this modest opposition.
