KAPGA DE LILY has moved to another level this season and she’ll be a short price to complete the five-timer having begun her winning run over this trip at Bangor when beating a three-times subsequent winner by eight lengths. Leverock Lass is 4lb out of the handicap and had a Wetherby victory handed to her on a plate when none of her three rivals completed. Haul Us In should strip fitter for her return to action with a similar comment applying to Final Reminder but they’ll struggle to keep tabs on the favourite.
