      Verdict

      FOXY FEMME has displayed a pleasing turn of foot the last twice and has every chance of completing the three-timer, despite being raised 8lb. Act Naturally stuck on resolutely to oblige on her ninth start overall and on a second run for Sean Woods at Ffos Las and looks the likely pace-setter dropping down to a mile for the first time. Thunder Lily hasn't been beaten far on her last four starts and should improve on what is just a third start on Turf but Sepia Belle returns from a 324-day absence and Luxy Lou probably needs to improve a few pounds.
