BISHOPS CANNINGS has been placed in all three starts now and took the step up to today’s trip in her stride at Lingfield last time. She gets the nod to come good in this with both Akkadian Empire and Red Caravel having their first starts of the year and the latter upped in distance. Villette is out of a winning sprinter but Lagopus is related to a middle-distance winner and preferred of the newcomers.
