Verdict
COCKALORUM went up 7lb for his course and distance victory but very nearly defied the extra in a better race at Ayr and is on the same mark. Southern Rock completed a Hamilton double and wasn't disgraced in a Listed contest back there last month. Livvys Dream won at Wolverhampton in May and would have a chance if the going eases further as she won on good to soft at Windsor last summer. Empress Ali has dropped to a very low mark though hasn't been running well but Brandy Spirit was staying on well over 1m1f at York and will be suited by the extra.
