Verdict
Lilbourne Lad drops to the minimum trip for the first time since scoring on his debut but his latest second in the Gimcrack, just ahead of Burwaaz, was another sound effort. He had Requinto well behind when successful at Naas in June, though carries a penalty here for his win at the Curragh next time. Fillies have won three out of the last four runnings of this, however, and the fairer sex can come out on top again this year via MY PROPELLER. On the form book, Peter Chapple-Hyam's daughter of Holy Roman Emperor has a few pounds to find with some of these but she's always been held in high regard and had plenty in hand when winning a Listed contest over this trip at York last month when Vocational was only fifth. Angels Will Fall is better than she showed in the Lowther, though does have to reverse that running here with the maiden Caledonia Lady.
