In depth
Verdict
Liquid Lover took to this trip well at Southwell last time and we take him to score from Legend Of Dance and Emma Lilley. The selection was not disgraced when staying on over nine furlongs here on his penultimate start, but he was game at Southwell last time before being touched off into second, and with the trip suiting and previous track experience plus a good draw here we take him to score. Legend Of Dance has not been seen out since runner-up here over nine furlongs in May. If fit enough, she could get involved but would have to improve to win. Emma Lilley was not disgraced over c&d last time, and the first time visor might help her get closer again, while Amberlina is still looking for inspiration and may not get it just yet. But Liquid Lover showed enough last time to suggest he can take this.
