Verdict

LAVA LAMP ran well for a long way on his return to action at Fontwell. He is should strip fitter here and Paul Moloney prefers the four-year-old to stablemate Fly Town even though the former pointer, who was second over C&D on her debut under Rules earlier this month, receives 14lb. Sohappyharry and My Girl Millie have hinted at ability but need to find more if they are to trouble Evan Williams' pair.
