Killay was probably unlucky not to make a winning start over 7f here. She showed plenty of pace so the drop back in distance shouldn’t be a problem but NOBLE MASTERPIECE may just be too strong in the closing stages. Much improved last time at Chelmsford after being gelded, the Stoute runner can make it third-time lucky today. Yabrave was very green when third at Kempton in April but has been given a few months to mature and should be winning soon. Cherished is another likely improver but Silently might need this run.
