      Verdict

      Samphire Coast won over a mile here last month but could only manage third off today’s mark last time. Rightway was placed over the same trip at Kempton recently and debuts on the Fibresand but FOOTLIGHT (NAP) was beaten only a length at Lingfield attempting 1m2f for the first time. Richard Fahey’s filly has won on this surface before and looks worth another chance over this longer distance with Paul Hanagan taking over the reins. The Lock Master is perfectly capable of winning this off his current mark but is something of a law unto himself nowadays.
