Verdict

SHECANDOO beat Lady Florence less than a length over track and trip last time but she would have won by further if not for missing the break and having to race wide and Conrad Allen’s filly can confirm running. Lethal Blast finished further behind the selection but there was little between third-placed Big Time Maybe and stablemate Something Lucky at Chelmsford earlier in the month with the latter the more favourably handicapped of that pair. Swell Song returns to action still looking for a first win after 18 attempts.
