Verdict

LADY OF AUTHORITY had Ember's Glow back in third when runner-up over course and distance recently and Richard Phillips’ filly looks set for another bold bid having won off a similar mark here last year. Ember Glow had earlier finished in front Qayed at this venue while Muraaqeb has won over shorter distances on the Polytrack either side of finishing tailed off here. Attain saves his best for Lingfield while Pike Corner Cross has plenty to prove over today’s longer trip judged on an earlier attempt.
