    Verdict

    LEXINGTON ABBEY was only beaten a length on his comeback at Doncaster last month and may be up to landing this off his current mark. Sunraider won a lower grade sprint over track and trip in October but has an 11lb hike to contend with, but Supplicant has slipped down the weights having failed to win last year. Yeeoow is another proving hard to win with and Mass Rally last won in 2013. But Out Do won twice in this grade last term and could go well while Money Team went close off today's mark at Lingfield in February and is preferred to stablemate Free Code.
