Verdict

Goodlukin Lucy won here in December and will be a popular choice with Simon Walker taking over the reins while Opus has been threatening to score and went close for today's rider at Lingfield earlier. Bethan is another with claims after finishing second over 1m4f here on her latest start and Alborz posted a better effort when last seen at this course in January. HONEST STRIKE had no chance at the weights up against Stand Guard last time but he'd earlier finished runner-up over track and trip in one of these events under Freddie Mitchell and he gets the nod to come good today.
