        Verdict

        MEHMO found only one too good at Lingfield last time and can go one better with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back. Mick Appleby’s charge has had the measure of Swooper the last twice and finished ahead of Red Carpet Queen earlier. The latter has since been beaten by Mid Day Rush over 6f here while Marta Boy has switched yards and attempts the minimum trip for the first time.
