Verdict

LAWTOP LEGEND produced a solid first run for Richard Newland when a heavily-backed favourite and he's expected to go close again in first-time blinkers over a slightly shorter trip off an unchanged mark. Ding Ding has a fine record at this track with all six career wins coming here and she slips further down the handicap. Torolight, a winner on the all-weather in February for rookie trainer Toby Lawes, is also one to note along with course and distance winner Jimmy.
