KAPGA DE LILY has yet to encounter going this quick but we’ll take a chance that Venetia Williams’ mare copes as she ran a respectable race on her reappearance at Chepstow when looking in need of the run. Youknowell won over a much longer trip at Plumpton and has gone up 6lb while Hereford winner Versifier was beaten 14 lengths off this mark at Carlisle, though a return to better ground should help. Premier Rose will have to defy a further 7lb rise to complete her hat-trick and that may be beyond her.
