Verdict

La Roca Del Fuego won over the minimum trip at Lingfield last month while Thaki has been raised 6lb for scoring at Newcastle and Martineo returned to winning ways at Wolverhampton. GOT NO DOLLARS (NAP) is another recent winner having scored over 7f at Kempton but is equally as effective over today’s trip and an apprentice’s allowance negates a 5lb rise. Inaam went close at Lingfield last month while Miss Bella Brand returns to action with a shout.
