      Verdict

      Plenty of recent winners to consider but it could pay to stick with the unbeaten HIKING. She landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Lingfield and further progress is expected as she takes another step up in trip. Crowley's Law returned an easy winner over the stiff 7f at Beverley and is just preferred to Ninety Minutes and Spiritual Flame, both maiden winners over 7f at this track. Ryan Moore prefers the latter to Adore while Richard Hughes is reunited with Edge after the latter opened his account at Chester last time.
