Verdict

A low grade lottery with a token vote going to DUKES MEADOW after placing at Wolverhampton last time. He was ahead of Mulled Wine at Lingfield earlier and the latter has been thereabouts of late while Pivotal Dream won at this level back in January and Free To Roam went close at Kempton in March. Emily Goldfinch slips further down the weights but General Tufto is best on the Fibresand at Southwell.
