      Verdict

      SIMPLY LOVELEH is likely to prove a warm order having finished runner-up at Uttoxeter on a recent reappearance and partnered by a 10lb conditional today. Dan Skelton’s mare is preferred to the returning Le Ligerien, who also has a conditional rider’s allowance in his favour on his first outing since March. Avonmore has a placed effort at Newton Abbot to her credit but Collooney has joined Olly Murphy since finishing second in a point-to-point and could go well in the McManus colours.
