In depth

Verdict

Ms Gillard has plenty to spare at the weights with Lady Lloyd on these terms and was beaten only a length over track and trip back in February. She should go close but ROMAN HOLIDAY posted an improved effort when second at Lingfield on her recent reappearance and Ed Vaughan’s filly can come out best with any further progress. Summertime Lucy and Rebel Sky have yet to threaten and are best watched for now.
