In depth

Verdict

Lilith made much of the running when fourth at Ffos Las on her debut under Rules while Gio's Girl finished second to a useful novice at Exeter, despite hanging throughout. But those with hurdling experience don’t set a particularly high standard and Wouldubewell was twice a winner between the flags in Ireland and changed hands for £52,000. SIMPLY SUPREME has a nice jumping pedigree and also has experience in points. She was second in a Ffos Las bumper last month and will strip fitter today.
