      Verdict

      Lillian was only third when joint favourite at Exeter nine days ago but this looks a weaker race. Icanmotor was only collared close home at Sedgefield earlier this month and has every chance of going one better. However, she’s not getting any younger whereas CIVITESSES is only five and any further improvement on her latest fifth at Newton Abbot should see her in the firing-line.
