Verdict

Spirit Of Nguru returned a losing favourite again at Lingfield and is tried in a visor while Wyvern was also a beaten favourite at the latter track having won his previous outing. LETMELIVEMYLIFE (NAP) continued his good progress when landing a hat-trick with a recent course and distance success and can effectively race off a lower mark with Billy Loughnane’s allowance taken into account. Mobashr slips further down the weights and is preferred to Marlay Park in this grade.
