A couple of these are penalised for winning. Vespasian scored over 7f at Lingfield and Bare Necessity came good over today’s trip at Wolverhampton but NORTH LINCOLN can take advantage of the weight concession. The latter found one too good at Lingfield last time and looks up to winning at this level on that evidence. Bluebird is a newcomer to note given her dam is a sister to the high-class sprinter Deacon Blues.
