HOSTELRY has been in excellent form with five wins this season and is probably best not judged too harshly on her latest Leicester third given she was seemingly taken off her feet on firm ground. She looks a live player again and earns the vote over recent Doncaster scorer Jez Bomb, who is another well worthy of consideration. Bernalda and Clear Angel are others worthy of a second look.
