Verdict

Tim Easterby runs two in this but the going may not be ideal for Bollin Margaret, who finished well behind stablemate Golden Melody at York last month. The latter has taken little interest the last twice having earlier completed a double and she has ground to make up on Celtic Empress. ALYARA is probably worth another chance in this grade having got the better of course specialist Detective when recording a first victory at Carlisle. She is improving and a 4lb rise looks manageable.
