Verdict
Hilight has failed to build on an earlier placed effort over 7f at Lingfield while Navarra Princess was runner-up over today’s trip at Wolverhampton last month though failed to threaten the winner. CHLOELLIE never figured over 7f last time but was beaten less than a length in a higher grade sprint at Kempton before that and she gets the vote racing off the same mark today. Social Butterfly never looked like winning in six starts in Ireland and has switched yards to Mick Channon.
