In depth

Verdict

There was money for Top Boy, a three-times winner here, at Lingfield on Thursday but he weakened quickly after setting the early pace. Derek Shaw wastes no time bringing JUMIRA BRIDGE out with a penalty after Thursday's comfortable victory at Wolverhampton and he's likely to be hit harder when reassessed. Sir Hector wasn't at his best here last time and would have a chance on his earlier form but Barrington, who has been competing at a slightly higher level, is 0-19 on the all-weather. Vape is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Southwell last month.
