After an impressive win in a selling hurdle last time the vote for this Selling Handicap goes the way of Evan William's LILAC who should score ahead of Golden Run and Share My Dream. The margin of victory was seven lengths for the pick in that last time out success as he took advantage of a really good opportunity. He obviously has more to do in this company but his mark is still four pounds lower than the last time he won a handicap. Golden Run sharpened up for this after nearly a year out by running in a claimer at Wolverhampton just over a week ago. With that run under his belt he should go well on his handicap debut off a fair looking mark. Share My Dream looks set for place money again here having done so to collect some on his last start in similar company off a mark three pounds lighter. He has handled this sort of rating in the past but only those with good memories remember those runs. Royaltea has some form to suggest he could go well but may need the run missing the last 1047 days while if Bonetta can go well for a yard in form. This isn't a bad race for this standard and Lilac should win it.
