In depth
Verdict
Lily Trotter had some fair maiden form on the Flat for Ralph Beckett and showed clear ability over timber on her second start when runner-up to Castafiore Park at Limerick. Further progress should see her play a prominent role but AZUA EMERY is the preference as she receives a highly valuable 10lb from the McNamara mare. Admittedly she has been a little frustrating but the best of her form makes her the one to beat in what rates a winnable opportunity. Tin Town Liz is an interesting former point-to-point recruit while Mysloegin has claims on some performances after appearing to need the run on her latest start when out the back at Cork.
