Verdict
LUNAR SHADOW was having her first outing since September when beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton. She looks up to winning off her current mark on that form. Violet's Lads posted a better effort over a shorter trip here recently while Yorktown scored here before returning a beaten favourite at Lingfield. Toybox and the less exposed Miss Tiki return to action with the latter preferred.
