Verdict
LADY WULFRUN has improved with every start, including a third last time at Carlisle, and gets the speculative vote of those handicapping for the first time. Pontefract runner-up Sleven and Chelmsford third Parker's Piece are others likely to figure while Miss Roberts went close on the Rowley course here on her debut back in May. Biloxi Boy, Persian Phoenix and Quickfire were all well beaten on their handicap bows having won earlier in the year.
