      Verdict

      LANAI showed promise when third at Nottingham on her debut. She'll have come on for that experience and a fillies allowance may give her the edge over Dominic Cork. The latter made the frame over track and trip on his introduction and is preferred to Bahamian Art. Bryan Smart's impressive strike rate with two-year-old runners at the track means Charles Messier is preferred to fellow newcomer Elusive Epona.
