My Girl Lollipop was beaten nine lengths by the unbeaten Corey's Courage at Uttoxeter last month but is 5lb better off. Moonamacaroona continues to hamper her progress by pulling too hard and she was worn down on the run-in here last month, though is now tried in cheekpieces. NEXTDOORTOALICE was a very easy winner here back in November and hasn’t done a lot wrong since so she can get her head back in front with Signal Point and Guidedbythescience both requiring improvement.
