In depth
Verdict
REFULGENCE began the year with a close-up third at Lingfield when well ahead of Magic Garden. She should be in the firing-line once again with a similar effort. Silver Springs ran well here three weeks ago without threatening the winner and is preferred to Adventure Zone, who won a maiden handicap at Southwell last week. Espoir is making steady improvement for Richard Fahey with jockey bookings suggesting she is preferred to stablemate Footlight.
