Verdict
GOLDRAY has shown potential in minor company over timber and though she's taking up chasing at an advanced age she hails from a yard that can do little wrong at present and can make a successful start. Lily Little Legs reverts to fences after three runs over timber and could be considered on her close second to Presenting Lisa at Market Rasen in October. Irish raider Suzy's Music, a winning point-to-pointer, has shown nothing in five starts over hurdles but may do better now tackling fences and though Our Phylli Vera has been well beaten in both starts over the bigger obstacles she does at least have a couple of victories over hurdles to her credit.
