Something Lucky and Liberatum both scored over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton recently while Imagine If won at Southwell last week. But the latter had been beaten by JACOB’S PILLOW in heavy going at Musselburgh before that and Rebecca Bastiman’s charge can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account. Lexington Place ran well on his reappearance and scored in soft ground at Pontefract last summer while Lydiate Lady improved for joining Eric Alston last year and won at Wolverhampton when last in action.
