Verdict

CLASSIC STAR endured a nightmare trip when sent off favourite at Lingfield. The race was already won by the time he found himself in the clear and Dean Ivory’s charge gets another chance in this. Rita's Folly won a maiden at Yarmouth before finding Dutch Story too good at the same track and the latter has been raised 8lb but Deconso escapes a penalty for landing an apprentices’ race at Wolverhampton recently and looks to have every chance. Miss Liberty Belle has been thereabouts without threatening lately and finished in front of Penarth Pier at Yarmouth last time.
