Masterson won over 2m at Newcastle last week having scored over today’s trip on the Turf course at Lingfield before that. He bids for a treble under a penalty but may be thwarted by UNSUSPECTED GIRL in this. The latter was narrowly beaten at Kempton last time and can go one better dropping down a grade today. Lilly Bonbon and Buteo Bai have both placed at the track recently but Onehelluvatouch has something to find with the selection on earlier running on the all-weather.
