Verdict
This looks very tricky and conservative staking is advised but LUTINE CHARLIE knows his way round here and the dual course winner should give a good account on the back of a satisfactory return to turf here last month when a decent third behind Fairy Mist in what looked a better contest. He holds no secrets from the handicapper but arrives in good heart and the presence of the excellent Josephine Gordon on his back strengthens confidence. Togetherwecan disappointed here the last day but she's a lightly-raced sort for a top yard and the best of her form definitely makes her a leading player here, whilst Miss Lillie could also get involved at her best but her last couple of runs have rather left something to be desired, Wordismybond is the one to check in the market for Richard Hughes.
