Verdict
This won't take much winning and Lord Of The Dunes must have every chance of going one better than over course and distance 10 days ago. Wak A Turtle was second over 2m here last month but was still beaten 15 lengths and is still a maiden under Rules. Amuse Me last won off a 10lb higher mark but the grey seems a shadow of his former self. LILY LITTLE LEGS was travelling as well as the winner when falling three out at Wincanton in March. She was probably feeling the effects in a couple of subsequent starts but has had a few weeks off so deserves another chance and is preferred to Forresters Folly and Goldie Horn, who are hard to predict.
