Formscan - Lillistar finished a respectable third at Wetherby on her most recent start and is of interest off an unchanged rating. Balally Park remains on an appealing mark and is considered, but DEVON SKIES gets the nod. Philip Kirby's mare benefited from a change of tactics when bolting up at this course last week and, if in anything like that form, she will prove a tough nut to crack.
