MEHMO (NAP) is having a first run here but has gone close a couple of times at Lingfield and is the most likely winner of this with Frederick Larson taking off a valuable 7lb. Marta Boy has had a break and is tried in a visor but could be the danger on his last run on Polytrack if the headgear has the desired effect. Red Carpet Queen gets first-time blinkers and may be best of the rest with Hotalena’s recent second coming in a claimer.
