        Verdict

        Conga has won over 6f here but was beaten under a penalty back at the track last month when finishing just behind third-placed Infuse. The latter still showed signs of inexperience and can do better but so can NONCHALANCE (NAP). John Gosden’s filly ran into trouble on a couple of occasions at Wolverhampton on her debut but still finished fourth and makes more appeal than stablemate Whimbrel, who hasn’t raced since November. Lucky Turn showed ability last year and also returns to action while Lilligram and Soloist have shown little so far and Regal Lilly makes most appeal of the newcomers.
