Verdict
Placed over track and trip recently, Hot Lick improved when handicapping for the first time and so did Willie's Anne, though she could only manage sixth at Wolverhampton. It remains to be seen if the handicap debutants can do any better but Everdina is stepping up from a mile so NOTHING COMPARES is preferred on her fourth over course and distance last month behind stablemate The Blues Matters. Chough is more exposed but was placed over 1m2f at Chelmsford on her latest start.
