Verdict

Privilege beat Jumira Bridge when winning a classified race here and the latter was also behind runner-up May Remain in classified company at Kempton. Dark Design has been threatening a return to winning ways in handicaps but a chance is taken on TOP EXHIBIT (NAP). The latter finally showed some improvement at Lingfield having tumbled further down the weights since joining Stuart Williams’ yard and an apprentice’s 5lb allowance further helps his cause.
