Verdict

LILY OF DROMARD was impressive in making a successful handicap debut over C&D a fortnight ago and, while she's been hit quite hard for that she's taken to improve further and follow up in a race that lacks depth. Little Token posted a big effort in novice company at this course last time and, with a similar effort, she'd also be a big player.

  1. LILY OF DROMARD (IRE)

  3. JOHANNA YEATS (IRE)
