      Verdict

      Soar Above has an excellent record here having won seven times from 16 starts though he's now on his highest mark after last month's victory. GOING PLACES is very lightly raced for his age and looked one to follow when making all to beat Starshiba four lengths at Lingfield. He's capable of taking high rank this year and will take some pegging back. That was his first start for a new yard, as was Reaction Time's 11-length victory at Southwell on his first run since leaving Godolphin. He's another lightly-raced type who can do better. Ice Age was engaged in the 4.10 at Lingfield yesterday and Thechildren'strust in the 2.10.
