Verdict

Whiskey Lullaby was quickly brushed aside by Wild Polly when favourite at Ayr but the extra yardage here shouldn’t be a problem. GO MILLIE GO certainly wasn’t winning out of turn over 2m6f at Stratford, however, and the second is a good yardstick who has gone close again since in a handicap. Lightning Gold was showing improved form when third in a Chepstow bumper last month but Timeless Beauty needs more.
