Verdict
Be Fair and Crimson King won their respective divisions of this race last year and the latter can race off the same mark today. Merweb finished in front of Ruby Red Empress when runner-up over 1m2f at Lingfield earlier while Eltham Palace may well appreciate the return to this longer trip on her handicap debut. But CHINESE WHISPERER will be sharper for last month’s outing over course and distance having slid down the weights and gets a speculative vote in an open contest.
