Sweet Lilly can complete a hat-trick, with Princeton, Nur Tau and Recruit expected to figure prominently. Sweet Lilly has been well placed to win her last two starts in maiden company at Yarmouth, and having swished her tail on the first occasion, looked much more the finished article on her return visit to the seaside track. With Frankie Dettori taking over in the saddle for her nursery bow, she can come out on top. Princeton got within a neck of Old Romney at Hamilton, with the third horse fully eight lengths away, and although the latter has been beaten since, he still commands respect. Nur Tau was found out in Group 2 company at Goodwood, but based on his earlier Sandown victory, should have no trouble landing a nursery, while Recruit is going the right way also and should be followed over the next few weeks. Sweet Lilly has the form in the book though and is the one to be on here.
