Verdict
This can go to My Lucy Locket, who will be happier over this trip rather than the seven-furlongs she ran over at Sandown. Further rain would enhance her chance and she will be well handled by her promising apprentice. Arpeggio has more to do than when winning a claimer at Yarmouth, but he is capable of a big run, as is J R Stevenson. The latter would be a big danger if putting his best foot forward, but he does need things to go his way.
