The Wincanton stewards enquired into the improved form of LILY WAUGH (NAP) when she romped home in a Class 2 handicap on Saturday and though she's been raised 11lb by the assessor she comes into this Class 4 event with a 7lb penalty and is impossible to oppose. The lightly raced Kayf Willow is progressing very nicely as she showed at Wincanton last month and looks the main threat if the selection doesn't repeat her latest performance. Lady Of Lamanver makes her handicap debut on just her third start over timber and this looks tough but Hope's Wishes showed improved form at Stratford in August and will enjoy the quick conditions more than most.
