In depth
Verdict
LIBERAL LADY won her maiden over the minimum trip at Kempton earlier this year. Open to further improvement after a recent third at Ffos Las, she gets a tentative vote on her Fibresand debut. Eastern Hills has won twice over a mile here. He likes to race prominently and will presumably try to poach a big lead and hope his stamina sees him home. Premier League has a 6f win here to his credit and is 4lb higher today, while Bookiesindex Boy has the past form over C&D and could figure if on a going day.
