Verdict
Lozah won here before going close again on her latest start and is preferred to easy maiden winner Crystallographer. Poor Duke was in good form on the Turf earlier this year and has a shout along with Who's Shirl, while Sir Lancelott won at Wolverhampton at this time last year and is only 2lb higher. But NEWMARKET WARRIOR should find life easier in this lowly grade on his first start since the summer and he gets the nod with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause.
