        Verdict

        Secret Lightning finished well ahead of Cookie Ring when scoring at Wolverhampton during the week but a 6lb penalty may be enough to anchor her in this. HOW’S LUCY is preferred despite finishing just behind runner-up Dukes Meadow over track and trip recently as Paddy Bradley’s claim allows her to re-oppose on better terms and she’s taken to reverse running. Dynamic Girl has plenty to find with the selection on latest form but Ixelles Diamond drops in class and could figure.
