Verdict

Lilac Belle was successful in this grade at Fakenham in February but ORLITTLEBYLITTLE was placed in better company at Catterick the same month and clearly didn't take to fences at Sedgefield subsequently. Donald McCain's charge looks the one to beat on this occasion. Navajo Nation was placed on soft ground in 2010 but hasn't shown much since, though is still preferred to the first-time-visored New Destination of the remainder.
