    Verdict

    SO SLEEPY was sent off favourite at Lingfield a week ago but missed out by a nose once in the clear having run into trouble in the closing stages. She can make amends in this given the weakness of the opposition. Next Second won at Wolverhampton earlier but both Storm Melody and Lucy Lightfoot have plenty to find with the selection and Field of View showed no improvement on his handicap debut.
