Verdict

Marchwood should be thereabouts again but is already starting to look exposed and more interesting is newcomer Lilbourne Eliza. A £30,000 half-sister to several winners, she's the choice of Richard Hughes ahead of stablemate Ottauquechee. But the vote goes to SQUEEZE MY BRAIN, who was very much in need of the run at Goodwood but still showed some promise and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop back to 6f. Breton Rock and Delwyn are both worth noting for future reference but may possibly need further than this.
