Verdict
BORN TO BE BAD is creeping steadily closer and was not beaten far over today's trip at Lingfield last time. He may well be good enough in a poor handicap and is preferred to last week's fifth here, Oriental Dream. Warden Bond won twice on the all-weather earlier this year but looks in the handicappers grip now and Hagree continues to stumble down the weights with showing any signs of improvement. Legal Shark has shown little so far but may do better now handicapping.
