In depth

Verdict

My Girl Lollipop has a bit to prove having departed early on her reappearance at Southwell but Leading Theatre got back to winning ways at Fontwell. LADY WILBERRY has yet to finish out of the frame over hurdles and she probably ran her best race so far when third at Wincanton last month, despite plotting a wide course. Last Of A Legend will strip fitter today and Mistral Lady has been getting closer while Dancingontheedge may do better now handicapping.
