Sir Mark Prescott's filly LISMORE has strong claims here having followed home a pair of useful looking colts on the all-weather at Wolverhampton five days ago. The new headgear may bring further improvement and she's got every chance on form as things stand. Justified is penalised for a recent win at Hamilton but should remain competitive while Eagle's Foot could be good enough to have a say on handicap bow after shaping quite nicely at Thirsk recently.
