Verdict
A low-grade finale which makes limited appeal as a betting medium. THE LILLSTER only won a seller at Catterick but this is little better and George Downing's claim gives her every chance of a follow-up. Chepstow fourth Concur has been racing over further but Secretfact was second over shorter at Bath and it would be no surprise to see either Intimately or The Special One in the firing-line.
