      Verdict

      Street Parade isn't discounted at his best but this may rest between the trio of recent winners - with little between them on the ratings. Lady Quickstep put a series of poor efforts behind her when scoring decisively at Yarmouth, although a 7lb rise for the win looks a little harsh. True Hero seems reserves his best for artificial surfaces and is a useful sprinter in Class 5-6 handicaps. He's back up to his highest mark for over a year but is expected to go close. Darryll Holland is ticking along quietly in his first season as a trainer and LILKIAN showed a good attitude to score at Lingfield recently and can go in again despite his penalty under the talented Angus Villiers.
