Verdict

Devon Skies is very much the boom or bust type as she has either won or been pulled up in each of her last eight outings, so it might be wise to go with the more solid option in LAYSOFT. The four-year-old filly took a step up to Listed company and finished a well-beaten third at Doncaster last time, but an opening mark of 101 looks workable and she could take advantage. Just Call Me Lucy completes the shortlist.
