Verdict

Expediate was placed over 6f at Lingfield last month and attempts this longer trip for the first time while Inuk has also been thereabouts over shorter distances and has something to prove judged on earlier efforts over 7f. But GEETANJALI made a winning start in handicaps when beating a couple of previous winners at Wolverhampton with Olive Mabel further behind and Michael Bell’s filly gets the vote to show further progress today and defy a 3lb rise.
