Verdict

Delfie Lane has found one too good the last twice now and sports first-time headgear after last week’s second at Lingfield. But a chance is taken on WHATALOVE improving for the extra furlong given she finished a close-up third over 7f here a week ago on her handicap debut and this looks easier. Alfolk goes handicapping for the first time and may finish closer while No Not Again slips further down the weights as he bids for a first success.
