Verdict
LALANIA has gradually worked her way back into full fitness and is already a winner over this stiff 7f. Though she might be a couple of pounds higher than ideal following her win at Newmarket, the six-year-old might still offer some value against likely favourite Silent Escape, who was beaten off a 5lb lower mark on her handicap debut at Leicester. Ibiza Rocks may need a first run since April but is unexposed and Epic Endeavour is finally starting to come down the weights. Eminent Hipster looks the pick of the remainder.
