        Verdict

        Few make any appeal with Love Destiny failing to complete a hat-trick on the Polytrack when beaten at Lingfield. ARAFI attempts the same feat today having recorded a double when successful at Kempton on a recent comeback run and the Hannon filly looks worth sticking with despite a 6lb rise. Critical Thinking has been thereabouts without winning so far this year and it was the same story when second over track and trip last time while Spring Romance notched an earlier double over 6f at Southwell.
