Verdict

A very competitive field for the money with Biplane and Bungley on hat-tricks. The former takes a step-up in grade with a 5lb rise to contend while the latter has a similar profile having made all to complete a double over the track and trip. Irresistable is still a maiden and returns from a break but showed definite improvement at Beverley while Lilikoi has been in fine form all summer though her two career victories have been on fast ground. A step-up in trip and softer ground brought major improvement to GURKHALI GIRL at Musselburgh and she's taken to defy a 5lb rise and complete a double.
