BLACKWATER LILLY 10/1
BLACKWATER LILLY at 10/1, Neil King and Jack Quinlan, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He races off a mark 11lb below the 103 it won from back in May 2025, handles the ground, with a win from 11 on it and gets a trip he has won over.
The dangers are AL MOOTAMARID at 15/2 (went close off this mark) and CAELAN at 13/2 (went close off this mark).
Each-way is the way in at 10/1, 3 places at 1/5.
