Verdict

A few in with a shout but the vote goes to top-weight EKLIL, who found a chunk of improvement to score at Windsor just under a fortnight ago just when he was becoming to look exposed. A 5 lb rise shouldn't be beyond him and he's fancied to kick on now up and running. Lady Lou is in fine heart this year so she heads up the dangers with this step up in trip sure to suit, ahead of recent Pontefract scorer Do I Dream.
