Verdict
Lilo Lil posted a much better effort when second at Redcar last time and her experience should stand her in good stead taking on the newcomers. Pixmiester and Will To Survive make little appeal on breeding but the remaining pair could be up to making winning debuts. Caesars Gift is a half-brother to the useful Sholaan but his yard's poor strike-rate with two-year-old runners at this track tempers enthusiasm and LADY FRANCES is just preferred. She's also related to winners and may just edge this.
