        Verdict

        Turanga Lilly won a maiden hurdle before struggling in a handicap at Downpatrick though Gordon Elliott’s charge should fare better in this company. But INESSA is preferred as she escapes a penalty for winning a conditionals’ race at Worcester last month and should make another bold bid. Northern Beau and Mac Bella have plenty to find with the selection on these terms but Musical Stardust finished closer at Stratford recently and looks best of the rest.
