Verdict
LADY MASTER has gone up 4lb since finding one too good over course and distance 12 days ago but is still getting 5lb from habitual bridesmaid Northern Beau so should get back to winning ways. Oscar World is tried in cheekpieces after a modest chasing bow at Huntingdon and makes more appeal than Sprogzilla.
