      Verdict

      ALEXANA was value for more than her winning margin at Lingfield so is just preferred to the more-exposed Inpromptu. Roger Varian’s filly will have her stamina to prove over this trip and may do better in handicaps. Just Wait is by Teofilo but her half-brother Universal won over 1m4f and any market support would have to be taken seriously given her yard is still firing in the winners.
