      Verdict

      Several look likely to improve for this extra distance including Trinity Girl. Having her second start after wind surgery today, she placed over 1m2f at Lingfield recently and is closely matched with the returning Uncle Swayze on collateral form. Theheartneverlies has been gelded since last year and can figure for Sir Mark Prescott’s yard stepping up from 6f but LYRICAL is a similar type. She raced exclusively over 7f last term but can include the useful stayer Grey Britain among six winning relatives and Ed Dunlop’s filly gets the vote on her handicap debut.
