Roman Spinner won a lower grade contest at Lingfield and is 5lb higher for this while Earth And Sky landed a course and distance double before finding one too good off today’s mark over 7f here last week. The latter has every chance once again and I'lletyougonow could figure after finishing in front of Saikung when going close at Lingfield but it could be the turn of GEIZY TEIZY today. She’s been beaten less than a length the last twice now so, with an apprentice’s 7lb claim giving her an advantage in this, Marco Botti’s filly gets the vote.
