      Verdict

      MR POCKET was a well beaten second stepped up to 6f at Windsor last time but had gone close over today’s distance at the same track before that. Paul Cole’s charge is preferred to Megan Lily, who gets first-time headgear having gone backwards since making a promising start at York back in May. Luv U Always has plenty to find on these terms and the remainder are even harder to fancy unless Precious Plum makes a marked improvement on her previous efforts at the track.
