    Verdict

    Azrur never looked like catching the winner when second over track and trip last time but it was a better effort nonetheless and he finished ahead of Cool Strutter. But LIMERICK LORD is preferred given he won at the track in December and finished runner-up over a mile here last week having been in the lead entering the closing stages. Surewecan has been thereabouts off today's mark at Lingfield recently and makes his Fibresand debut while Lawyer continues to slide down the weights without looking like bringing his long losing run to an end.
