Connections have been patient with KAPGA DE LILY who handles soft ground and ran with some promise last time on her first outing following a long absnce. Her yard does very well here and this looks a fair opportunity. Similarly unexposed is the very lightly raced City Never Sleeps who has definite claims on the pick of his form, whle top weights Lastofthecosmics and Catchmeifyoucan have both been in decent form and should be thereabouts. Recent Sedgefield scorer Sincerely Resdev has a much tougher task but at least comes here on top of his game.
