In depth

Verdict

A low grade lottery but LION RING placed at Lingfield having won over track and trip before that and gets another chance. Darlo Pride arrives in good form and is not out of this while Sparked won over the minimum trip before going close over 6f and Q Twenty Boy has also been in the mix over the latter trip recently. Universal Grace won here in September and is another to consider.
