Verdict

Takeitfromalady was not beaten far over today's trip at Lingfield despite finishing only fifth. He was a couple of lengths ahead of Opera Buff on that occasion while Sinbad The Sailor won at Wolverhampton in November but the veteran has been beaten off today's mark subsequently. Another veteran in JEZZA arrives in better form having gone close over track and trip last month. Already back on a winning mark, Callum Shepherd takes 5lb off his back for this and he should go close. Wolf Of Windlesham won over hurdles last year and scored over a mile here back in 2014.
