      Verdict

      Pink Lily ended a frustrating run of placed efforts when scoring over track and trip with a bit in hand. She’s penalised today and needs to reverse earlier running at Salisbury on worse terms with FULLFORWARD. The latter was beaten only a head on that occasion and today’s faster ground will suit. Man Made Of Smoke scored at Wolverhampton two runs ago but that’s his only win in 22 attempts so far while Star Sprite drops down in distance after placing at Southwell.
