        Verdict

        BIRKIE BOY placed at Lingfield when upped to today’s trip and is taken to confirm running with Tenyatta. Search has won on soft going over 6f, though that was back in June, but Mist Of Lir posted his best effort so far over track and trip earlier in the month. Palazzo Persico may prove best of those handicapping for the first time.
