        always towards rear, never a factor

        In depth

        Verdict

        Lady Of Aran landed a tougher sprint than this on the Turf back in September though remains 8lb higher and RECKLESS ENDEAVOUR (NAP) looks worth another chance. The latter scored over track and trip on his penultimate start and David Barron’s charge faced a more difficult task in Class 2 company at Lingfield last time. Barrington is another to consider having gone close the last twice now and is preferred to both Athollblair Boy and Lucky Lodge, who won a lower grade contest here last month. Mia Mento is a maiden winner in Ireland and debuts for new connections.
