    Verdict

    Lady Lavina returned to winning ways back on the all-weather at Chelmsford and is 7lb higher. The remaining trio have all been in the mix without winning but Evolicatt and Look Back Smiling are more exposed than KING’S GEM. The latter has been beaten less than a length in all three starts so far in handicaps and drops back down a grade for this.
