Verdict
HURRY HOME POPPA (NAP) has recorded all three wins so far over 1m6f including a course and distance victory. He went close again when third here last month and John Mackie’s charge makes most appeal in this. Lorelei has only her third start on Turf but has been running well on the all-weather and won over 2m at Wolverhampton recently but Atalan has shown his best form at Chelmsford. Stanarley Pic was placed on numerous occasions last year but has shown little so far this season.
