In depth

Verdict

Belle Bayardo and Restless Bay are closely matched on earlier running at Lingfield and can figure but Satwa Laird and Muftarres would prefer a longer trip. George Fenton won here before a couple of failed attempts on the Fibresand and Hab Reeh landed a double at the course in January. Reginald Claude has claims on his recent form at Lingfield that includes a couple of victories and Methaaly is another to consider. LITTLE CHINA went close over track and trip before a below-par effort at Kempton last time, however, and she gets the speculative vote off a 2lb lower mark today.
