    Verdict

    With the exception of Fashion Tycoon, all runners have strong claims in a tight handicap but the step back up to a mile may see NIGHT LILY prevail. Cotswold Village sprung a surprise at Chepstow on debut for the yard but proved that that was no fluke when going close over the same course and distance from a 3lb lower mark and she has the scope for further improvement. Dr Wintringham has been in a rich vein of form but is at her best when able to swoop late off a strong pace and this may not be run to suit whilst there is always a chance that the handicapper may just be getting the upper hand. Jewelled regularly runs well here and should be in the reckoning again but marginal preference is for Night Lily who seems to be at home on a fast surface. She can race a shade keenly but settled okay when held-up last time only to find that the line came too soon over seven furlongs; her tactical versatility may come in handy in this line-up but the longer trip is certain to suit.
