LILLIE MARGOT built on her encouraging handicap debut when scoring at Nottingham last month and still looks feasibly treated. She can go in again. Kalokalo and Areti head the list of dangers.

Off the mark at fifth attempt when landing 10-runner handicap at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) 32 days ago. 5 lb rise looks manageable and she looks a big player on tapeta debut here.

Returned to form when creditable second of 5 in novice (9/4) at Newmarket (7f, good) 10 days ago. Looks fairly treated on handicap debut and is one for the shortlist.

Verdict
Cost €165,000 as 2-y-o and has shown something to work on, fourth of 13 in maiden at Lingfield (1¼m) 31 days ago. Another who could improve for switch to handicap company, although opening mark looks stiff.

Verdict
Made a winning reappearance after being gelded at Chelmsford (1m) in March and backed that up when third at Kempton 13 days later. Best effort since when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap over longer trip at Wolverhampton 7 days ago but rather looks summed up by his mark.

Switched to handicaps with cheekpieces added, found some improvement when fourth of 9 at Doncaster (1m) in May. Disappointed at Salisbury since, though, and others appeal more.

Verdict
Caught the eye on handicap debut when fourth of 11 at Haydock (1m) in May, enduring a nightmare passage and finishing with plenty left in the tank. Failed to build on that in the mud at Lingfield subsequently but can't be ruled out. First-time cheekpieces/tongue tie applied.
