In depth
Verdict
Lily's Prince rarely runs over the minimum trip these days and all of her six victories have come over further. Captain Cullen has a very similar profile though he did at least look as though the trip was no problem when a close second in a strong handicap here last month when Anonymous Lady was behind. ONEOVERYOU finished a close fourth in that latter race and is the type to do better as she's been lightly raced. Kevin Manning has been booked to ride for the first time so Gerard Stack's filly is handed the vote. Calm Bay is on a lower mark than when last successful and is running into form while the three-year-old Daisy Bell is still looking on a fair mark despite going up 5lb for her comfortable victory at Navan.
