Verdict
Three of these were beaten less than a length over today’s distance last time. The front-running Back From Dubai finished third here while Legal Reform placed at Wolverhampton. But LILIKOI has held her form well since winning at Newcastle in January and she gets another chance having finished in front of Gracelands Girl when runner-up last time, though Thrave and Drakeholes won at the end of last year while Scattering missed the whole of 2022 and makes his handicap debut having been gelded.
