Verdict
A modest affair in which Gay Kelleway runs two. Phoenix Beat looks the best of those but has been beaten twice at Lingfield off lower marks recently, though stepping up a furlong may help. MATILDA'S LAW was beaten less than a length stepping up to this trip on Polytrack on her reappearance. She'll strip fitter today and can open her account as Pastoral Star is held on the form book and is proving a disappointment. Vallance Road may be the pick of the remainder.
