      Verdict

      NUTHATCH isn’t the most straightforward and is fitted with a hood having just missed out at Goodwood. She won twice on the all-weather early in the year, however, and looks to have stronger form than Kitten Gloves, who placed again when third at Kempton. Sabah Al Ward improved dropped back to the minimum trip at Lingfield while Never This Way and Okami are preferred to Poetic Jack of those handicapping for the first time.
