Verdict

Haydock winner Colourfilly complicates matters as she was due to run at Chepstow yesterday evening. Fidelma Moon went close at Carlisle last time and drops back in trip but HONEYSUCKLE LIL failed by only a short-head to catch the winner in a 7f contest at the same meeting. Her trainer Tim Easterby sent out last year’s winner and she gets the nod. Desire is upped in class after finishing runner-up at Musselburgh while Stosur has been back on a winning mark for a while and Queen Aggie was well beaten in last year’s renewal.
