Lunar Space is dropped in trip after winning at Wolverhampton and DAISY ROOTS (NAP) is preferred. The latter scored over today’s distance at Lingfield with both Elusive Tiger and Alicefromumbridge behind and a rise in the weights is negated by an apprentice’s 5lb allowance. Kodi Noir beat the selection over 7f here last month but has something to prove over this far while Poppaea is worth a second glance having shown improvement on her handicap debut.
