In depth

Verdict

Duck A L'orange has been thereabouts in both starts on the all-weather and drops down a grade for this. Ayr Of Elegance has crept up the weights without winning but had no luck last time when getting caught up in the starting gate while Santiburi Spring won over track and trip in October and is only 4lb higher. SAINT HONORE (NAP) should be sharper for a recent comeback at Lingfield and was not beaten far off a higher mark here earlier last year. Paddy Bradley’s allowance further helps her cause and she could go close.
