Verdict
This won't take much winning and Muthabir has a chance, despite top weight. Ballycash wasn't beaten far last time at Southwell and there was some promise in Sweettoothtommy's third at Chepstow. LILLIAN should appreciate the give in the ground today and can pick up the winning thread again as she sees out this trip really well. Demographic steps up a grade after scoring at Wincanton but looks a danger given she was second over this track and trip nine days earlier.
