In depth

Verdict

None of these inspire much confidence but POETIC LILLY has slipped down the weights since last year’s handicap debut and a third on the Polytrack here last time suggests she can figure in this. Luna Wish also placed on the all-weather here before finishing last at Yarmouth while Glencora finished third in maiden company at the same track before struggling on her handicap debut. Ask Siri may do better back over today’s shorter trip and Staxton Hill is unexposed.
