Verdict
A number of these went close in maiden company over track and trip on their latest starts and make their handicap debuts. Lady Kyllar showed plenty of promise but has not raced since November while Soft Love failed to land the odds when only third last time. EL CHE was beaten a nose by Limerick Lord here last month and given the third has subsequently won, Mick Channon's filly gets another chance in this. Toni's A Star finished ahead of Robin Hill when fourth at Wolverhampton but was still well beaten.
