        Verdict

        Relatively open this one and Hurricane Coast, Island Rapture, Takes Tutu and All A Dream form the short list, with preference for Island Rapture. The selection is suited well by a mile around this track, having enjoyed one win here and a couple of recent seconds. Off the same mark as when just beaten here last week, he looks sure to be very competitive and can score. Hurricance Coast is due to go up 1lb soon following a decent effort when runner-up over nine furlongs at Wolverhampton last week. He is not as effective at Lingfield for whatever reason though and so is passed over. Takes Tutu is arguably well handicapped on his turf form, but is due a drop in the weights as from Saturday, so perhaps he will have to wait for another day, while All A Dream is back on a winning mark and over a mile, so she has her best chance for some time of troubling the judge. However, Island Rapture has conditions to suit and can score.
