        Verdict

        ASTROLEO was winning for only the second time when modest heat at Brighton last month but still looks a leading contender in this company. He's since finished a respectable fifth at Warwick so earns a speculative vote in a poor race. A victory in a Lingfield maiden is Mister Frosty's only win in 32 starts and Barbirolli's sole win since 2009 came in an even lower grade than this. Motarjm's three wins on the Flat have been on Polytrack, while Satwa Sunrise makes her handicap debut having shown little over shorter trips so far.
