Verdict
Almost all of these have run here including Lilandra, who is 0-4. She had some decent form for Ger Lyons and will be better for her debut for new connections in November. Abeona also moved from the same yard and had her first start for Sarah Lynam last month though she was behind TURBO COMMAND and the latter has since run well in a handicap so gets the nod. Strange Times ran well in a handicap last month and has some scope as does the four-year-old Ottawa Fire, who found 6f too short last time but was running on.
