Verdict
Hailing from a yard back among the winners lately, HEY LYLA is unexposed over this trip and found only one too good at Newmarket last time. She started off the season rated 81 and now runs of 73. Azahara Palace had a couple of lengths to spare over Kracking when only a beaten a neck at Salisbury last month having won twice over this course and distance previously. Marie Laveau should have benefited from her reappearance at Salisbury and headgear is added here.
