Verdict

The betting suggested Aaliya would come good over 5f at Lingfield last time and she duly landed the odds. But she’ll need further improvement racing under a penalty given FIELD GUN showed plenty of promise when runner-up at Doncaster on his debut and it’s William Haggas’ charge that gets the nod to come good in this. It’s difficult to make a case for any of the remainder on what they’ve shown so far though Kodiac Pearl has placed over 7f on more than one occasion.
