      Verdict

      Lumi is penalised for an impressive win over track and trip last time but is still preferred to Sulafaat, who won a nursery here last year and returns from a lay-off. BIG KITTEN has his first start since November but he found only the progressive Gronkowski, now rated 96, too good at Chelmsford on that occasion and Mark Johnston’s colt gets the nod to go one better. Furze Lady is hard to fancy and New Rhythm will need to be well above average to figure on her debut.
