Verdict

INVINCIBLY (NAP) was beaten only a length at Lingfield attempting to land a hat-trick. He drops back down in class for this and Karl Burke’s charge gets another chance. Trevolli moves in the opposite direction having placed in a lower grade at Wolverhampton while several step up in trip. Liberated Lady finished second over 7f here last time and is preferred to Widaad, who returned a losing favourite in a claimer, while Impeach attempts a mile for the first time having also disappointed last time.
