Verdict
Yair Hill was racing off 82 four runs ago and, despite landing a Wolverhampton claimer, he's now on his lowest ever mark which enables him to get into this moderate handicap, though he was due to run in a seller at Wolverhampton yesterday. Welease Bwian scored over the track and trip in December and his two subsequent runs have been over the minimum at Lingfield. He could go well with his young rider claiming 7lb but can be a tricky ride. Jolly Red Jeanz had RIGOLLETO and New Leyf close behind when scoring here last month but it's the runner-up, who had the worst of the draw, who can take revenge and gain his second course and distance victory. Invigilator, who won here from the same mark in March, bounced back with a surprise success at Chelmsford while New Rich has won four times in his career, all over this track and trip.
