        in touch, effort over 1f out, keeping on when short of room inside final furlong

        In depth

        Verdict

        None of these inspire much confidence but DREAM ALLY has been thereabouts of late and gets a token vote. Afkar has a second at Lingfield to his name this year but drops back in distance for this while Daring Dragon was placed at Nottingham on his penultimate start and can figure with a similar effort. Danzoe won at Wolverhampton off a similar mark back in April and Ms Eboracum was not beaten far when fifth over 7f at Lingfield last time.
