HEADSCARF LIL could only manage third in testing ground at Wetherby on her reappearance. But it was faster going at Kelso when going close on her debut and she gets another chance on this all-weather surface. Timetoroe disappointed last time having been narrowly beaten at Ayr earlier while Red Dragoness posted a better effort at Wetherby last month but that was in a junior bumper over 1m4f. Better is expected from Movin'on Up today while Alpha Carinae is a point-to-point winner debuting under Rules.
