Verdict
LADY POPPY has been upped only 3lb after scoring at Musselburgh and has won off today’s mark before. She can confirm running with a few of these including runner-up Lizzy's Dream, Compton River and Roy's Legacy - the latter had earlier beaten Perfect Words at Kempton. Pancake Day also won off a higher mark last year despite a 4lb rise for a recent success at Southwell when ahead of the likes of Camanche Grey, George Bailey and Willow Spring. Windforpower has slipped down the weights and may prove best of the rest.
