LILY'S ANGEL is right back to her best and followed up her victory in a tough handicap with an emphatic success over Devotion here a fortnight ago. She will be very difficult to beat in that kind of mood and should complete her hat-trick. Since winning a Lingfield handicap in February, Night Lily has competed exclusively at pattern race level and has rarely been disgraced so expect another big run from her while Libbys Dream, a Listed winner at Wolverhampton in March, also makes the journey from the UK and should get into the frame. Another raider, Colorful Notion, will need to find some improvement but wouldn't be making the trip unless connections believed she was up to the challenge.
