Verdict
DANGEROUS AGE opened her account at Lingfield last month with Magic Ice a length in arrears and John Hills' filly is fancied to follow-up on her handicap bow. Outbid's victory also came in maiden company but she never looked like scoring back in a handicap last time while Scarlet Strand has separated a couple of poor efforts with a third over 6f at this track. It's difficult to make a case for any of the remainder though Lexi's Beauty has finished a bit closer of late.
