In depth
Verdict
Liberated Lad won over 1m6f at Southwell before scoring again over a shorter trip at the same track. Three Dragons also won over 1m6f earlier while Smith was successful over track and trip in December. But RENDITION (NAP) has improved for the step up to today’s distance and having won a higher grade contest at Wolverhampton last time, she looks capable of defying a 3lb rise with Stuart Edmunds’ yard in top form.
