Lady Lilac is preferred here despite sitting three pounds below the top-rated Victory Tip, as her progressive profile suggests she is a filly still improving and capable of outrunning her current standing over this eight-furlong trip on soft ground at Cork. Victory Tip remains the most obvious threat given that narrow rating advantage, while Bold Style and Hellorhighwater, both on 90, will need watching if they take to the conditions. The case for Lady Lilac rests on the belief that her upward trajectory gives her the edge on the day, and she is the selection.
