Verdict

One to tread warily in with the vote going to EVENING ATTIRE, nudged down a couple of pounds despite continuing to perform solidly at this modest level. His yard do well with ammunition at their disposal and he's one of just two course and distance winners in the line-up. Rhona Pindar, in the plate, has posted two wins from her last four rides at the time of writing. Lilbourne Star could prove well treated off 65 after just four starts and is a potential improver in a weak race and Kath's Lustre is likely to prove competitive down to a mark of 66. Vimy Ridge has shown nothing in 2019 but is over a stone lower than a year ago, so has to be considered very well handicapped.
