      Verdict

      Lilikoi won here before placing at Chelmsford while Vindobala’s earlier success came over a mile at the track and she’s switched yards since. Miss Britain also won over the latter distance at Southwell when beating Wadacre Grace with PIFFLE further behind. But the latter has improved for the return to today’s trip and beat a couple of previous winners when scoring at Wolverhampton recently. Gracelands Girl makes her handicap debut having slid down the weights.
