In depth
Verdict
Sweet Lilly, Three No Trumps and Hocinail are three against the field in a trappy affair and the vote is given to Sweet Lilly. The selection was a fair third behind Five A Side last time out, that form has since been franked and in what looks an easier race he is taken to score. Three No Trumps rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Fuji but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and he may be seen to better effect once handicap. Hocinail was behind Three No Trumps on his debut but is sure to improve and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Lay The Cash is from a yard that can ready a newcomer and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Sweet Lilly.
