Verdict
Staintondale Lass had little chance at the All-Weather Championships behind Realtra, rated 107, but had gone close at Wolverhampton before that and can figure again. BLACK BESS arrives on the back of a success over today’s trip at Lingfield. Jim Boyle’s filly gets the nod in a tight contest raised only 2lb but Lyfka scored over track and trip at this time last year and is not out of this either now back on a winning mark. Posh Bounty has done all her winning so far in lower grade races.
