In depth

Verdict

A mile suits Imperial Lucky and she is nominated as the one to be on, while One Night In Paris and Bavarica also come into the reckoning on the pick of their efforts. Priceoflove is one to also bear in mind, as she has an obvious chance from her current mark. However, she has achieved very little of note so far and is not one to be siding with at cramped odds. Bavarica has more form on the surface at Wolverhampton but copes adequately with the Polytrack here at Lingfield. She is a consistent enough type and is a leading contender to at least make the frame this afternoon. One Night In Paris - although she has raced here once before - has also been in good form at the other All Weather tracks and will be a popular choice given her recent profile. She won with a bit in hand last time and cannot confidently be ruled out. Nevertheless, Imperial Lucky is effectively eased in grade this afternoon and, although it is by no means an easy task under top weight, she is expected to appreciate taking on this weaker calibre of opponent and has very little to find to repel all the challenges today
