Verdict
Nothing looked like catching TRULEE SCRUMPTIOUS when the latter made all for a five length romp over track and trip a week ago. Another bold bid looks likely and she looks a safer bet than Lemoncetta. The latter has been placed in maidens over a mile and attempts today's trip for the first time along with La Superba while Oakley Star's previous start over 1m2f at Brighton inspires little confidence. Secret Lightning has been competing in better company since a second at Ripon and should fare better in this.
