Verdict

LED ASTRAY looks likely to make a much better three-year-old judged on her run at Lingfield when stepped up in trip. She’s a half-sister to six winners, including Group 2 winner Hatta Fort, so a victory or two would boost her paddocks value. Sir Havelock was a length-and-a-half behind at Lingfield but is 2lb better off so should get closer, though is much more exposed. Garnock Valley will have stamina to prove but Aces N Kings could be interesting after just two runs on the all-weather having been gelded.
