Forecasts

Gilding The Lily (2/5), Date Line (4/1), Evening Call (11/2)

GLIDING THE LILY shaped with plenty of encouragement in making up considerable ground in the final 1f on her recent debut at Wolverhampton and is taken to open her account at the second time of asking with improvement on the cards. However, strong market support for well-bred newcomer Evening Call would put a slightly different slant on matters.
