A low-grade contest brings proceedings to a close but Hi Lily comes here in good heart and should prove hard to beat. The daughter of Jupiter Island was taking advantage of a lenient mark when landing a conditional handicap under today's rider at Southwell last week and escapes a penalty so looks sure to give another good account with conditions in her favour. Dragon King scored a narrow success at Fontwell last month and has had his limitations exposed off his revised mark since while Mighty Fine has claims if able to complete a clear round but he does not look the safest of conveyances while Looking Forward has not progressed as expected and appears high enough at the weights.
