Verdict

NURPUR failed in her bid to land a hat-trick when dropped back to 7f at York last time. She still ran well for fifth in better company than this and gets the vote back over her winning distance. Lilac Lace has looked in the handicapper's grip since landing an early season treble and Lazarus Bell recorded his best effot so far over 7f. Mount Tiger should go well again after scoring on the Polytrack and Newcastle maiden winner Sherzam makes most appeal of the remainder given China Creek was still beaten eight lengths when runner-up at Southwell last time.
