Saisons D'Or and Vindobala won at Newcastle on their penultimate starts but both were beaten on Turf last time with the former placing at Musselburgh. Lockdown Lass returned to action with a decent effort at Redcar but both the latter and Tamaska were beaten by TRUTH IN JEST over 6f at Thirsk last summer. Nigel Tinkler’s charge has yet to race over 7f but all four winning relatives won over today’s trip or further and he should improve for last month’s comeback. Dillydingdillydong may prove best of the rest slipping further down the weights.
