Verdict
Jonnie Skull was engaged to run at Lingfield yesterday but has leading claims if turning up here. In his absence, the vote goes to KAI who has gone close on more than one occasion of late and has an apprentice taking 5lb off his back today. Lisselton Cross found only the in-form Invigilator, who runs in the previous race, too good last time and can figure but it's hard to make a serious case for any of the remainder who haven't looked like winning for some time now.
