        Verdict

        Not the strongest of openers and we prefer Registrar to Bentley and Fun In The Sun. Registrar is trained just down the road by Christine Dunnett and it's no accident that his better performances appear to obtain at this course. The handicapper is likely to put him up for his latest run and he need do more to win this. Bentley is a regular on the all-weather these days. He has a big chance if producing his second at Lingfield's turf track. Fun In The Sun put up his best effort for some time in a Yarmouth seller. He is still yet to win on turf. Networker has apprentice find of the season, Andrea Atenzi aboard. The horse has shown little this term but is a previous course winner. Romany Nights and Mugeba represent Gaye Kellaway and they must be watched in the markets. Bateleur looks to have lost his way badly and is tried in the visor as a last resort. Gee Ceffyl Bach is exposed. Registrar is the pick.
