A fourth sprint on the card to close the day in which Lolita seeks the hat-trick. She's displayed a good attitude the last twice to get her head in front but may have to give best on this occasion to STAR FIRE. Roger Charlton's Dark Angel filly would probably have won at Salisbury in another 50 yards last time and her hold-up running style does mean that things have to fall her way. Cam Hardie claims a useful 3lb and hopefully can bring her home with a telling late swoop. Magical Daze was a place behind the selection in that Wiltshire contest and consequently is afforded plenty of respect, although appearing unlikely to reverse placings on identical terms. Candlelight completes the shortlist on the back of two solid efforts.
