An awfully weak race and perhaps a good chance for LINDSEYFIELD LODGE to supplement his Kelso win. Sent off at 25/1, the selection showed plenty of resolution to see off More Equity last month. He is actually able to race off an 8lb lower mark now returned to hurdles and is hard to oppose. Lisdonagh House is not discounted off this mark, whilst Bombie Boy has shown nothing at all but fresh may be the time to catch him off this plater's mark of 67. Devils Delight is more consistent than most of her rivals, and along with Knight Valiant she is certainly considered.
