Verdict
Placed over 6f on the Turf course at Lingfield last time, THINK FASHION comes out best of those with a handicap rating. Brian Meehan’s filly should go close over today’s shorter trip and has the edge on these terms over Doncaster third, Beck And Call and Five Star Frank, placed at Chelmsford last month. Fair Cop has been narrowly beaten in both starts so far but still needs to improve to figure and the latter comment also applies to the returning Eskimo Bay.
