Verdict

Lyfka won easily over 6f here recently but now has a penalty and was behind Marmalad over this trip at Wolverhampton earlier. The latter was fancied for a lesser contest at Lingfield yesterday, however, and may be a doubtful starter. VEGAS REBEL won at Brighton last month and then ran a cracker in a decent nursery at Newbury when only beaten half-a-length. If the Alfred Nobel colt can transfer that form to the all-weather he should take all the beating, though Gleaming Girl is probably heading in the right direction and Classic Seniority is usually thereabouts.
