      Verdict

      Always Fearless found one too good at Lingfield having won at the same track before that while Jenson Benson was narrowly beaten over track and trip last month and will likely figure again. Cap D'Antibes and FINERY (NAP) dead-heated for first over course and distance in November. The former hasn’t raced since but the latter was beaten less than a length back here last week and Mick Appleby’s charge is taken to return the outright winner on this occasion.
