In depth
Verdict
HELLBENDER wasn't particularly well treated when landing a claimer at Lingfield last week so it was good effort. He may well follow-up having been raised only 1lb. Bajan Bear steps back up in distance after a close-up third over 6f here last time but Russian Ice makes more appeal after a placed effort over track and trip. First Class has failed to figure since winning here in September but Perfect Mission won off a higher mark on Turf last year and could get involved. Lady Sylvia was beaten only a head over a mile here on her penultimate start and may also make her presence felt.
