Verdict
L L Koulsty finished his juvenile campaign with a breakthrough victory at Cork and there is likely more to come. However, he lacks a recent run and a penalty demands more of him. With that in mind, it could be worth chancing SILKY LASS, who has reached the frame on her last two outings and won't be found wanting for fitness. Henry Halflight and Lakota Chief are others of interest.
Expert View Verdict
This isn't much of a race. L L Koulsty is a previous winner, over 6f on the turf in Ireland, and he could easily improve again and defy the penalty upped in trip on this AW debut. LAKOTA CHIEF shaped well over 7f at the course on his debut over four weeks ago, looking in need of the experience, and he should progress significantly over the extra furlong. He's favoured in receipt of 5lb. Silky Lass is fairly exposed but it receiving 15lb from the top one, taking her rider's claim into account, and that alone gives her a chance.
