Verdict

Whitby Jet is 3lb higher than December's win over course and distance but is not easily dismissed in this company while Abigails Angel has a shout back up in distance. In contrast, Buckland and Travelling have something to prove over today's trip but Conducting has been in fine form at Lingfield and went close again when third at that track last week. TADABEER will need to step up on his return to the Flat over too short a trip at Lingfield last month but is capable of doing so dropped in class and he gets the speculative vote in an open race.
