Verdict

This is a tough task for Hypnotic with 9st 12lb in the plate, so, although he is given every respect, we will pass on the Mark Prescott runner and take a chance with Lateral Thinker, Elgin Marbles may prove best of the others. Jamie Osborne's filly has contested some decent races recently, she finished in midfield in the Newbury sales race won by Sienna Gold, and then wasn't beaten far behind The Crooked Ring in a hot nursery at Kempton. She still looks on a very handy mark and looks set to land her second career win. Hypnotic has contested two all-weather events here at Lingfield and was most impressive when beating Flying Pass by five lengths in the most recent one. It is hard to gauge just how good that form is, but the handicapper has taken no chances. Elgin Marbles must have a chance of beating the selection on a line through The Crooked Ring, but you do have to ignore a desperate effort at Doncaster last time. Of the remainder, Bellalou is steadily improving and can go close at a big price, but Lateral Thinker has the best overall form and gets the verdict.
