Verdict
The line came too soon for LOUCAL here last month when he finished with a late surge to grab third place. Toby Atkinson's 5lb allowance could make the difference in this and he gets the vote. Last Minute Lisa has been thereabouts of late, although a poor strike rate doesn't boost confidence in her chances, while One Way Or Another will find this tougher than the race he won in Guernsey last time. My Gigi has claims off her current mark and is preferred to For Shia And Lula, third here last month.
