Verdict
Ben Lilly is raised in class and carries a penalty as he bids for a six-timer. East End Girl and Gentleman At Arms both went close over 1m6f on their respective latest starts with the latter finishing in front of Berkshire Savvy while Moomba is fitted with headgear after finishing runner-up in novice company at Bath. Jacinta De Vega and DAYSAN are both novice winners but the latter went close on soft going at Haydock before scoring over today’s trip at Chelmsford so Owen Burrows’ charge is preferred.
