Verdict
Toolatetodelegate landed a course and distance double last year, including this race from the same high draw. Dalness Express went close racing from out of the handicap over 6f at Windsor last week and can figure in this grade while Lily Of Year ran well at the latter track last month when finishing ahead of Fantasy Justifier and Captain Ryan. Royal Mezyan slips further down the weights but MRS TODD is the least exposed, having placed in novice company at Wolverhampton last time, and gets a speculative vote now handicapping in first-time headgear.
