Tell'em Nowt has won two of his last three starts after scoring at Southwell last week and carries 5lb extra. But ORIENTAL LILLY has been keeping better company than this since winning over track and trip in November and Jim Goldie’s mare should go close back on the same mark. Gorgeous General beat the selection over the minimum trip here earlier while Beryl The Peril placed at Wolverhampton last time.
