Though conceding 25lb, the fast-improving KAPGA DE LILY should still have too much for recent course winner Leverock Lass, who will be carrying more than her allotted weight. Venetia Williams’ mare is on a five-timer and her winning run looked no near being halted at Chepstow last week when she powered clear of toiling rivals. Haul Us In may have needed her run in November but looks up against it at the weights.
