Hostelry sits 3 lb behind the top-rated Willowinghurn on these figures, but a progressive profile suggests there is more to come and that gap can be bridged over this eight-furlong trip at Beverley on good ground. Willowinghurn remains the obvious threat at the head of the field, with Dumfries and Back From Dubai also capable of making their presence felt in what looks a competitive Class 6 heat. Confidence is modest, but the upward trajectory is the compelling argument here, and Hostelry is the selection.
