Verdict

LORNA COLE made a winning start at Lingfield and appeared unlucky when beaten only a neck under a penalty at Wolverhampton last time. Carried right in the closing stages on that occasion having already overcome a wide draw, Bill Muir’s filly deserves another chance in this. White Iverson is the most exposed and drops down to 5f for the first time as does Kyllachy Warrior, who finished closer at Wolverhampton recently. Chillon Castle can do better returning to the Tapeta today while Shug is a likely improver and the newcomer Olympic Spirit has a speed-packed pedigree.
