Verdict
It was only a Class 7 event in which ELAND ALLY and Chandresh finished fourth at Lingfield last week but Anabel Murphy’s nine-year-old is one of only two previous course and distance winners in the first division of a modest handicap and he was fourth in this grade two runs ago. Tribesman was second at Southwell last time but has not won since his debut in 2015. Fuel Injection has won off higher marks but recent form is cause for concern. Lady Bacchus should benefit from a return to Tapeta having failed to handle Fibresand last time and looks the pick of the remainder.
