        Verdict

        Lilikoi is penalised for winning at Newcastle last week but BOND BOY has a penalty reduced by an apprentice’s allowance having scored at Wolverhampton. He looks worth sticking with having improved since being gelded and is preferred to stablemate El Royale. The latter steps up from 6f after placing here on his handicap bow while Bluebells Boy has undergone wind surgery since landing a maiden over the same distance. Voltaic is usually thereabouts without winning.
